Several forum members have been kind enough to alert me regarding current online scams (seems to be trending over the last 6 months). So I'm sharing what I just received in my email. I did some research to find it was a scam (no surprise there, but necessary):

Is dropbox even a thing?
I don't get much spam/scam but recently Netflix Mexico alerted me someone logged into my account. I don't have Netflix anywhere.
And Paypal which I do have that my account was locked and login here. Pretty legit looking but the email was from Paypl.com with no A in pal.

I hope you didn't click on ANYTHING in that email. That's, as they say, how they get ya.

Another red flag is the date of the deposit (12/6/21).

@chickenbutt , @Snowpuppy I didn't click on anything...never do anymore. I (and my husband) have also received those PayPal email statements saying it was locked due to suspicious behavior (we have both received them from our banks also). I always check PayPal (and banks) by going into my account (not clicking anything on the email) and never find that my accounts were locked. Seems I'm deleting these scams weekly.

@Diamonds22 Yup, I thought of that too. Your kidding me, notifying me of a deposit wired 6 months ago! Thank goodness, these scammers are not too smart!

Actually, it would 6 months in the future. You'd think they would catch an error like that - or maybe they just bank on others not noticing.

Why wasn't this directed to your SPAM file.
You can hover over the sender and see their e-mail address before opening.

@chickenbutt Whoops...who would have thought...even better evidence!

@phoenixbrd They are super people, they made a deposit on a date in the future - 12/06/21.
