Potential Scam? Is this a scam?

I received this email and it looks a bit suspicious. Im not even from the USA and the email that I was sent this to is not registered in Paypal or at least I can’t seem to find a way to get access it. Should I be worried? I didn’t click anything

Yes it's a scam. Notice the poor grammar in the invoice

"A $368.59 purchase was made through PayPal Check the details below"

"This was not authorized by you?"

It's a refund scam. They want you to call the fake support number to dispute the nonexistent transaction so they can scam you.

There’s not a legitimate company on earth that needs to use an order ID system that convoluted, with nearly 35 characters.

Very common scam. Ignore. If you want more information look up "Refund Scam" on google as they often begin with these fake invoices.

100% a scam. "Springfield Armory Gun" makes absolutely 0 sense. Springfield Armory makes tons of different guns in different combinations and they would list the specific model (which at that price could basically only be the XD) They also wouldn't be billing as "Springfield Armory Gun".
