FTC: Phishers send fake invoices

Phishers send fake invoices by Ari Lazarus Consumer Education Specialist, FTC We've recently heard that scammers are recycling an old phishing attempt. In this version, scammers, posing as a well-known tech company, email a phony invoice showing that you've recently bought music or apps from them. The email tells you to click on a link if you did not authorize the purchase. Stop – do not click on the link. That's the new twist on an old scam.
