So, are you saying you fell for this fractured english language attempt at stealing your hard earned money?


Or are you asking if the email is valid?


In either case, read: Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support, and contact PayPal.


In any event I'm requesting that your image be removed to avoid displaying personal/compromising/shilling information.


Sounds like a version of https://www.bbb.org/new-york-city/get-consumer-help/articles/the-nigerian-prince-old-scam-new-twist/

From the previous link I provided: Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support

  • "If you receive what you believe to be a phishing email that's designed to look like it’s from Apple, please send it to reportphishing@apple.com
  • To report spam or other suspicious emails that you receive in your iCloud.com, me.com, or mac.com Inbox, please send them to abuse@icloud.com.
  • To report spam or other suspicious messages that you receive through iMessage, tap Report Junk under the message."
