This kind of intrusive "help" is everywhere. A few days ago I directed an individual to another collectors association's website so he could take advantage of the PayPal method of payment for some small items. Yesterday I got a way too cheerful e-mail from an entity using the term 'pAYpAL in its address, thanking me for my recent "substantial item payment using PayPal, and directing me to their site for 'processing' of my payment. My account history shows I haven't purchased or paid for anything from PayPal in over 8 months! Like robocalls and IRS alert scams, this stuff is rampant lately.
