World Health Organization COVID Fund Invoice Scam

[HollowKnights2k]

Hey world. Not sure if I'm the only one receiving this invoice but just got an invoice for $20.00 from something called the Respond Fund for World Solidarity from the World Health Organization.  Paypal won't let me dispute this invoice nor would I presume the WHO would send dubious invoices for donations through Paypal so I'm assuming it's a scam. Just curious if this is being sent out to others. Thanks!

Thank you for all of your efforts.  Received a 50.00 bill today and it totally freaked me out.  Tried calling Paypal and got no response.  This <removed>!!

Same her, $50USD Clearly a scam/fraud

Received the same today for $0, then an hour later for $50. It shows up in my activity with no ability to cancel it. Tried removing my banking info and it wouldn’t let me due to a pending charge. This is royally messed up and even more so with the title of it being in Asian characters and not English. I’d attach a picture but not sure how to or if it’s even possible.

@watts0312 is there an Activity or a Pay/Cancel dropdown as seen in this video?

If not, the community has mixed results some saying that PP staff tell them there is an invoice even though they cannot see it. Of course ignore the emails or send them to spoof at paypal - if WHO is really doing this to folks then it's appropriate to raise the unprofessionalism and shoddy ethics directly with pp. If WHO is not doing this, then PP should write a simple script to detect the WHO sponsored site as now being used in a scam or being used in violation of consumer's rights, and should be completely blocked by PP until the perpetrators cease the unethical solicitations.

@watts0312 I apologize the link gets removed. I put a space here maybe they don't filter that I saw on you tube

World Health Organization WHO PayPal Invoice Scam and What Do About it

Halfway through he is showing the invoice he got and the PP screens to remove it

Today I received an invoice for 50 dollars from the WHO for a donation I would never ever make. Where did this come from? How did it get into my Paypal account? And how can I get rid of it? I am highly annoyed by this! Thanks for any ideas!

[GidgetPowr]

So did I. I’m savvy enough to know it’s not something I would agree to or order, but my grandmothers not so much. I consider it fraudulent.

Seems a lot are getting them, just ignore.

I figured out how to cancel the invoice. For Paypal to allow this is ridiculous. Probably not even going to WHO.
