Scams like this aren’t uncommon. Basically the idea here is to get you to call the number on the “invoice”, where they will then give you all kinds of fake information about “hackers” taking over your computer and bullshit like that. Like a hacker would hack into your system so they can purchase antivirus service for you using your own account.
But when you call in, they’ll have you install software so the scammers can actually take over your computer so they can scam you out of your money.
So yeah, when you see this email, just delete it. It isn’t from PayPal or Lifelock. In fact, the “PayPal” in the invoice is spelled “PayPaI”. The font hides the fact the last letter is a capital-I instead of a lower-L.
