Part 1

I got a transfer of 1 HUF into my PayPal account completely out of the blue. The note on the transfer says: "Pre-fund confirmation: USD 987.90 is pending charge to Coinbase via PayPal. This small deposit is just used for the account activation check. For questions, call [Phone number redacted]"

Obviously, they want me to call the number and then give them some personal information. I wonder if anyone is dumb enough to actually fall for it. 1 HUF, BTW, is worth about 0.0032 USD. They couldn't even scam me with a whole penny.

Side note: It was extremely difficult to get an image of this. The PayPal app doesn't allow taking screenshots, and their website wasn't showing the full comment. PayPal all doesn't appear to have any way to report scambaiting like this.
