Alan, you’ve pointed out the issue with the scam emails. Specifically with the phone number. Venmo emails are doing something similar. I’m sure thst PayPal and Venmo will not do anything to stop these. PayPal knows about it. They have warnings on their website about the scams. That’s all they will do.
My community never gets such requests and invoices from PayPal. My spam rule leans heavily on the phone number. But my rule is probably too strict for other communities. > On Jan 29, 2025, at 11:23 AM, Alan via users <users@spamassassin.apache.org> > wrote: > trigger sufficient anxiety that the recipient calls the phone number in the > message, which connects them to a scammer.
