Was this phishing? This morn I got a letter supposedly from pay pal, that in 1969 I wrote a check that they returned to pay pal. In 1969 I was 12! There was no website to go to or two # to call. Pay Pal is investigating.

Yes, it is phishing and it just made things up that is easy to spot.

This phishing scam belongs to spear phishing. Usually, it works like this: An email arrives, apparently from a trustworthy source, but instead it leads the unknowing recipient to a bogus website full of malware. These emails often use clever tactics to get victims' attention.
