it did look legit
i don't use it for business
however i do get a monthly email breakdown of activity
example: i use it for rp
i did search and confirm it is a scam

Yeah, I do get a statement of my usage on the Paypal page, generally eBay and Red Bubble, but no invoices.  I used to have a PayPal credit card that I would get actual paper invoices in the mail for.  I still get a a lot of text scams - my Wells Fargo, Apple, T-Mobile, Amazon acct's have been compromised, etc.  The first 3  of which I don't even do business with.

Does Paypal ever send out invoices anyhow?  As far as my dealings with them, they take their money from a percentage of the purchase - why would they need to issue an invoice?  I guess scammers will try any familiar name as an "in".
