[Milsurplus] A Really Low Blow

This morning, I received a "PayPal" invoice, dated February 2nd 2024, 
for a fake company name, created around 1985, used in another state, 
which didn't have an email address associated with it until the 
mid-90's, to an email address mothballed nearly 25 years ago, for 
delivery of  "Bitcash Credit", at $822.65", and I have only 24 hours 
(looks like they missed their mark) to cancel.

The company name was multiple words, for example, "Internal Revenue 
Service", and the first word was used in the salutation, "Dear 
Internal", as if they thought that would look super legit!  No matter 
how many times I call the number on the invoice, the dirtbags just won't 
answer.  A rather mediocre scam...

Unfortunately, it just goes to show how much crazy info is gathered, for 
how many years, and how much later it may be used.  It's due to stuff 
like this, that you may still receive seemingly legitimate email from 
your pal that passed away, and, even decades from now.
