📢 Do NOT call that fake support number!!
It's most likely a fake invoice for scammers to do the refund scam on you.
Check the invoice FROM email address, it's very likely not from paypal or anything.
Scam email informs recipients about fake purchase

The refund scam starts with a fake invoice with their fake support number for victims to call. They'll claim they can refund you, maybe remote access your computer (tell you to download a screen sharing app) then will usually claim you over input the amount and now owe the scammers' money. They could also ask for gift cards and use your info for identity thief etc.
If in the rare chance you DO see $600 purchase on your official paypal/bank/credit card then call your bank's fraud department and dispute it.
