**Malwarebytes reports a tech-support scam campaign that manipulates PayPal notification emails by inserting a fake high-value charge and a scam phone number into the email subject (while the signed email body remains legitimate), tricking recipients into calling scammers who then attempt credential theft, remote access, or financial fraud; the post includes screenshots, analysis of DKIM/SPF/DMARC behavior, mitigation advice, and instructions to report suspicious emails to PayPal.**
