I've noticed an increasing trend of PayPal Bitcoin invoice scams. Could you elaborate on why these seem to be so popular? Is it due to the perceived anonymity of Bitcoin transactions, making it easier for scammers to get away with? Or is it simply the ease of generating fake invoices through PayPal's platform? Additionally, how do these scams typically work? Are there any specific warning signs or indicators that individuals should be aware of to avoid falling victim to such scams? Understanding the reasons behind their popularity could help us better protect ourselves and others from becoming targets.
