This email contains the following indications of a phishing attack:
- The sender's email signature (display name/email address) matches a known brand ('Paypal'). This is a common scam that is exploiting PayPal's invoice feature.
- Email appears to be a financial request, but the message body contains language that may be trying to steal money from your organization.
If you receive an email similar to this one, it is recommended that you take the following actions:
- Do not reply to the message
- Do not click on any links
- Mark the message as spam or junk
- Forward the message to phishing@dartmouth.edu
- Since this is impersonating a PayPal invoice, you can also forward the message to phishing@paypal.com to report it to PayPal
- Block the sender
- If you have concerns that you might actually have a real PayPal invoice, do NOT use any information from the email to contact Paypal.
- Instead, go to PayPal's official website to find their contact information and reach out to them directly.
