<prompt> Human: I received an email from Sephora an hour ago confirming my purchase. This is not weird, as I let my girlfriend buy makeup for herself occasionally. What was weird was the payment method because my girlfriend does not have my PayPal log in nor have I linked it to Sephora. I scroll to look at the shipping address and it is in California, this was a huge red flag because we both live in Central New York.Suspecting something was wrong, I called Sephora immediately and found out that it was a phishing email targeting my PayPal login information. They said that this issue has been occurring frequently with them and PayPal.Should you receive a suspicious email, DO NOT click the link to PayPal or the retailer site contained in the email. First, log into your PayPal and search through the activity. If money was fraudulently charged, report it by following these steps:Go to the Resolution Center at the bottom of the page.Click Report a Problem.Select the transaction you want to dispute, and click Continue.Select I want to report unauthorized activity.Click Continue.Follow the instructions to finish opening your dispute.If no money was charged, then forward the email to You should receive a confirmation with a claim number confirming that they added it to their files. Another recommended step to protect yourself is to change your password immediately. Your account security is in question and it is a wise thing to do at this point. Either do it directly from the app or by typing out paypal.com into the search bar. Do not go to PayPal through the email link.Next, call the retailer on a customer service number and dispute the purchase. Have the order number and total amount ready so that they can look it up and let you know for sure whether a purchase is being processed through your account. Cancel it if something was fraudulently purchased.Finally, delete the email. DO NOT CLICK LINKS IN THE PHISHING EMAIL! I cant stress this enough. These links contain fake links that will steal any information you input.  <response>: Started working at a bank. claims are like 98 of my calls. Now, I obviously know some of the claims being filed arent actual fraud.. but the amount of believable claims I file daily are pretty concerning. DONT CLICK THE LINKS
