Here is a good scam!

I was cleaning out my spam mail and there is one from PayPal! Saying that they suspended my account do to fraudulent activity! 🤔! I don’t us PayPal for anything! But they wanted my information to clear things up, such as bank account, where I worked, ssn# & a few more things! So I called PayPal and talk to their fraud division dept. she was very nice but said that they don’t sent you any emails like that! I said I thought and thanked her. So be on the look out for bogus spam from PayPal!

We actually got a Nigerian email this afternoon from a "businessman" who needs to transfer $52,000,000 dollars and I can have 15% if only . . . (block, delete)

I have not used paypal since 2002. I also get emails every month from Netflix stating they could not put my payment through, a problem with my credit card, when in fact it goes through no problem each month. I get emails from just about every bank, that I do not have accounts with, there is so much of it out there and I am sure they do fool some.
