💸 NEW SCAM METHOD: I RECEIVED 1 CENT! 😳
I thought I had seen it all… but here’s what happened: I receive an email from “PayPal”: “You have been sent $0.01” 🤏
The address is real, exactly like PayPal’s.
I don’t click on anything (we're not rookies 😎), I open PayPal in a separate window → log in via 2FA.
And what do I see? That very $0.01 is in the balance!
And in the notes — a mythical payment of $499.99, plus a “helpful” 🚨 phone number for the “PayPal Billing Team.” Obviously, there was no $499.99.
The whole point is to make you call the fraudulent number → that’s where the “magic” of data/money extraction begins.
🤯 Why does this work? — the transaction is real, so — filters don’t block it, — the victim starts to panic, — and the scammers spent only $0.01. Genius? Yes. Dangerous? Very.
🤔 Main takeaway: If you receive 1 cent + an “urgent” phone number → don’t call anywhere, don’t click, just ignore.
Question to the community: ❓ Has anyone encountered such a “price scam”? Looks like 2024 is bringing new schemes… #Bitcoin #CryptoNews #BinanceSquare #CryptoBoom
