Yes, it is still going on.

I keep getting the same phish again and again. I refuse to give them my Social Security Number. Only a very few companies require that and PayPal is not one.
Here is a link related to this topic:
https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/security/report-problemOne of the most common phishing scams involves sending an email that fraudulently claims to be from a well-known company (like PayPal). ... Forward the entire email to [email protected]. Do not alter the subject line or forward the message as an attachment. Delete the suspicious email from your inbox.
Notice the explicit instructions as to how to report. I did not know how to until I saw this. The
phiser even hijacks the way you try to respond to the e-mail. It is a
very wicked design to device and defraud.
