PayPal Phishing Email About a $600 Bitcoin Purchase

A reddit report about a phishing scam that cost someone $600.0. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

Hi, I got an email from the notifications SignEasy email regarding a PayPal purchase I didn't make. I was a bit antsy at first because I didn't make a purchase of $600 in bitcoin and I didn't want to call the number that was given in the email. The part that annoyed me was I did make a purchase on PayPal yesterday but it was only $23. When I called PayPal customer support they verified that there weren't any other transactions in my name and that this is a scam. I'm unsure if I should contact SignEasy about this or if I should just junk the email. I don't know if this is a common scam or what. But just some reassurance that I didn't fuck up would be nice. I don't tend to fall for scams but this feels different and makes me worried I could've been compromised.
