Also I may have called the number on that email and yelled at the indian guy who picked up about how shitty Paypal's security is for letting my account get hacked.

I got one that said I bought a Ruger LCP .22 for $1,200.

I get them periodically. Initially I experience a WTF but it doesn't take long to realize it's a baseless scam and I just delete and ignore it. When I had paypal, I used to get invoices to pay. I just declined them and sent an invoice to the sender. I never did get any money.

That's about when I "kindly" suggest they consume excrement and expire...

I got a call today about my Bank of America credit cards. But the phone never rang and I got a minute long voicemail. Oh, and I have no Bank of America credit cards.
