What are the red flags?
-
The address of the sender is sssss@gmail.com (it should have been PayPal.com)
-
The body of the message says “Hey … this is not a professional message.
-
There is very little in the body only saying to see attached file. I do not recommend looking at attached files of messages with red flags, but I did pull it up to see what additional red flags are to be found:
-
The wording of the message is clear that English was not the person’s native language. It is also very non-professional.
-
There is an urgency (you only have 48 hours to respond)
