I have received several of these scam “PayPal” invoices. They claim that you have bought something that is very expensive, and that your payment method has already been charged. Then they give a number to call within 24 hours if you want to “dispute” the charge.


It is all a big lie, presented by criminals. There was no purchase, there was no charge to your account, and they are not PayPal. If you call the number to “dispute” the charge, the criminals will collect your account information under pretext of needing it to process your “refund.” They will then use the information that they tricked you into providing to rip you off.
