Paypal fake receipt generator for Operations

Recently, there has been a new  PayPal email scam going around,   but this one is really tricky because these  scammers are able to actually generate   an email coming from Paypal.com, actually. It's  not some random domain or look-alike domain,   it literally comes from Paypal.com. So in this  video, I'll explain how they accomplish this,   what to do to watch out  for it and defend yourself. And of course, what their goal is,  like how does the scam actually   proceed if you were to fall for it.  Before we continue, as a reminder,   if you guys enjoy this video, maybe  check out the rest of my channel,   and consider subscribing and also clicking the  bell to enable all notifications. These days YouTube still might not show you  videos, even if you subscribe.   Okay so first let's go over how this scam works.  So first of all, the victim is going to receive   an email from PayPal saying you have an  invoice for some amount. And the email,   like I mentioned, is actually from  service@paypal.com. So if you were   to follow the usual advice to check the  domain, make sure it's actually from them, none of that would work because it actually  comes from PayPal and you would have to fall back   on just general common sense and skepticism. In  this example, it says there's a invoice for $600   due, and it says "Billing Department of PayPal  updated your invoice". It also says "seller note   to customer" with a whole thing about how your  account was used to buy a Walmart gift card, and if you wanna dispute it, here's the  number to call for customer service. And   there's also a button to "View and  Pay Invoice". And that actually does   go to paypal.com and brings up a  legitimate PayPal, well not legitimate,   but an actual PayPal invoice. But here's  the thing, all of this is just made up,   and actually their goal is not even to  necessarily get you to pay that amount. It's actually to get you to call that   customer service number. But I'm getting a bit   ahead of myself, let me explain how they actually  made this invoice. The thing to understand   is anybody, even you, can log into your PayPal  account and create an invoice, a PayPal invoice.   In fact, if you go to the top of PayPal and click  "Send and Request" on the right side, you see an   option to "Send an Invoice". And then you can just  fill out a bunch of info saying whatever you want, and this is what the scammers did. Notice how on  the scam email, it doesn't even say the person's   name, it just says PayPal User. They're just  blasting this out to a whole bunch of people, not   targeting any specific person. On the  right, you can see how you can choose   any logo to add to the invoice and even edit  the business info to say whatever you want. And they changed it to just say  "PayPal Billing Department". For   items where it says "Walmart eGift Card" with  a bunch of details, like a transaction ID,   it's all to look legitimate. They  just added that to the Description field   of that item in the invoice. And that  whole message in the email that talks   about how "there's evidence that your  PayPal account has been accessed". They just wrote that themselves in the "seller  note to customer" field. So all of this is   made up by the scammer. Now, I don't know if they  generate a new invoice for each individual person,   or if PayPal lets you send it out to multiple  people, I assume. But either way, each person   gets a actual email generated from PayPal  because of this invoice that gets made. And despite them sending you a invoice through  PayPal, they're not actually expecting you   to pay it. I guess theoretically, if you were  to so say, "oh I guess I owe this money" and   click it and pay, yeah it would go to their scam  account. But they're actually hoping that you   are going to try and dispute it by calling  one of the customer service numbers,   either listed in the email in that  seller note to customer, or under the item description that they also put in.  ing to one article by Brian Krebs,   he's a security researcher, if you  call the number, they basically   eventually try to get you to download a remote  administration tool like TeamViewer or AnyDesk,   which lets them control your computer.  They basically tell you to go to some   website they set up, that's meant to look  like some kind of support website, generic. And if you go to the support section of it,   they have all these "oh, support tools,  blah, blah, blah". But literally they just   go to download TeamViewer or these programs,  they have you it, and tell you, "oh yeah,   we're gonna help you fix it". And then they do  all sorts of different stuff. But it's all . And if you do end up doing that, they have a  whole variety of tricks they can play on you to   get money out of you. A lot of times they'll just  bring up the command prompt, run some command that   looks complicated and say, "oh, look at all  these viruses you have" and stuff like that,   it's a bunch of nonsense. Many times  they'll have you log into your bank account. And what they'll do is they'll trick you into  thinking they sent you some amount of money as   a refund, by transferring money between your own  two accounts. And then they'll edit the screen   so it looks like you received a refund transfer,  but literally it was your own money. And they'll   also say, "Oh no, I made a mistake or you made  a mistake and I transferred way too much money. I'm gonna lose my job. Please send the  money back", and that's how they get you.   They trick you into thinking they sent you  too much money and try to get you to refund   the extra back. But really they didn't  send you anything, you're just sending   money away. And the way they'll get the money  out of you, is there's a few different ways. One is a common one, they'll try to get you to go  to buy gift cards at the CVS. Sometimes they will   tell you to go to the bank  and wire money somewhere,   sometimes they can even blank the  screen out and try to see if they can   transfer money directly from your bank account  themselves while controlling the computer, and you can't even see it. Sometimes they can't do  that because it requires like verification codes   from the bank and they don't want to bother  with that, so that's why they try to get you to   buy gift cards or go to the bank and transfer it,   where there's no way to undo it. And in regards to  these types of scams, I would definitely recommend   another YouTuber Kitboga, who basically  messes with these types of scammers, pranks 'them, wastes their time. It's hilarious to see  them get really angry. So while it's entertaining,   you can also see how these scams  work, how they try to trick people.   So once you see a few of these, it's  a pretty standard script they follow,   and you can see patterns. So it's  hilarious, and you can learn a lot. So I'll maybe put a link to one of those  popping out there. A needless to say in   general, if you're calling customer support  about some kind of financial transaction,   there is no reason that they should tell you to  download something, it's a bunch of nonsense. And   really, if you get any kind of notification,  or email, or popup telling you to contact   customer support, and then they try to get you to  download something, that is a massive red flag. It's one of the most common scams in the book  these days. Anyway, just be aware of this scam,   that way you won't have to worry about  it, you won't fall for it if you know   how it works. If you guys enjoyed this video, give  a thumbs up of course, for the algorithm. Again,   if you wanna subscribe, also be sure to  click the bell to enable notifications. If you guys wanna keep watching,  the next video I'd recommend is   one I made of another type of new  email scam that's becoming way more   popular. So much so that the FBI issued  a warning about it. So I'll put that link   right there. So thanks so much for watching  guys, and I'll see you in the next video.
