I received an email seemingly from PayPal that reported I’d recused a $.04 deposit from RLTY RUE. Email contents below. When I called the number, they said I was victim of identity theft. They asked me to open up a google browser on a laptop, not my phone, so they could give me a code to protect my account. When I expressed confusion, the woman insisted I needed to let he help me protect my bank account. When I was skeptical, she said, ok, you can check and call me back.

Not sure if a scam but highly suspicious. Notification email from Paypal: "You received this email because your PayPal account processed a payout by small deposit confirmation. If you authorized it, no action is needed. If not, please contact PayPal Customer Care at +1(888) 338-0640 immediately to secure your account and request a refund". The email was legitimate from PayPal. The deposit was for $0.03. Not purchases were recently made using this PayPal account. The only hit I can find on RLTY RUE is for a traveling hair dresser. https://rltyrue.square.site/ (may not be affiliated). Will update if there is a false purchase on the account. This may be a scam testing account numbers. [BBB Scam Type: Phishing] [Business: Paypal RLTY RUE] [Location: PA, USA- 16505]
