Got an email that pretended to be from eBay about an $890 Apple EarPods sale via PayPal, and it told me to call a number if I didn’t order it. The sender was listed as Order Receipt < >. Weird, yeah.

Expert Opinion
What makes a simple email notification turn into a high-stakes scam? These calls from the provided number tie directly to phishing emails mimicking eBay and PayPal, pushing fake refund or verification schemes for bogus purchases like overpriced Apple EarPods. Scammers craft urgency to extract personal details or funds, often escalating to malware links or direct payment demands. Hang up immediately if you suspect foul play—never confirm info or click attachments. Report to authorities like the FTC or your email provider to curb spread. Block the number and enable two-factor authentication on real accounts for added security. Stay skeptical of unsolicited alerts demanding callbacks.
