Radio Paradise

a friend mentioned it to me
and almost on cue, a notice appeared in my inbox
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.

I guess scammers will try any familiar name as an "in". I think if you accept paypal at your business you might get a monthly. Not sure.
