Clearly fake, everyone knows that PayPal uses Hotmail.com email address.

Apple Intelligence clearly does not, having forwarded for my immediate action, a smish from hotmail account claiming to be from person at Indeed with many opportunities available to me due to my impressive resume. All the details would follow when I clicked on the link. I gave Apple Intelligence a report (FAIL) and lost the offending messages so that I could not report them individually.

I used to fwd spam messages to abuse@ the relevant domain. Except… nobody has those anymore more… “go to our web site and report”.
Like, dude, you lose all the headers and spoof information.

You can still send the full email (with headers) to spamcop. I do that. Not sure if it does any good, but I hope so.

I have gotten several PayPal emails saying I have purchased something that I clearly did not. I just erase and ignore.
