I received a fraudulent email stating I owed money, which I do not, but it had a Paypal address. Weird.

The address wasn't exactly PayPal, it was:  [removed]   so very close. I sent it to the phishing dept. anyway but just thought it was weird and wondered if anyone else ever got it.

So just to alert everyone:  I received 2 fraudulent emails and 2 fraudulent texts, all claiming that I owed money (not true). The scary (and puzzling) thing was that the address they came from was this company. I never answer any emails or click on any attachments or links in an email and instead go directly to that company and look for answers there. I did file a report here and they investigated. Be careful!
