Watch out! Scammers are using this PayPal setting to take over your PC

Scammers are impersonating PayPal and sending out fake purchase notifications from legitimate PayPal email addresses to trick users into granting remote access to their systems. Users are led to believe their accounts have been hacked and are encouraged to call a fake customer support number. The scammers then convince the callers to install software that gives the scammers complete control over their computers. To protect themselves, users are advised not to click on links or download attachments, and to use multi-factor authentication and a VPN.
