Another one spotted! This scam e-mail actually doesn't contain any text. It is one attachment, an image. A real high-quality one, at that! Obviously, that's the first red flag right there. 

Upon receiving an e-mail like this, it's suppose to set off alarm bells to the victim and make them think there is unauthorized activity on their PayPal account. They are then directed to call the phone number contained in the message (no, that's not PayPal's phone number). Once the scammers get the victim on the phone, they will then ask for details like login information and acquire said information from the victim to steal funds. Don't fall for it!

I knew right away it was a scam, but this is how my mind analyzes such an e-mail:

Stay safe, stay aware! No company will ever ask for your personal login information, no matter what. Most important moral of the story: Google does not sell Bitcoin!!! Although, apparently you can use Google Pay to buy Bitcoin via Cex.io

Any business owner wants to achieve their goals, grow their business, and get excellent results. Among the available marketing tools, e-mail is definitely worth highlighting. A big problem with the spam folder is when your emails automatically end up in this folder and are hidden from the client.
