PAYPAL E MAIL WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I just got an e mail from paypal (But it wasn't actually from Paypal!!!!!) It said Dear Paypal valued member....then it told me to click on a link....I almost did it but then I called paypal to check on the email...It is NOT FROM PAYPAL and is a scam to get your account information!!!! Paypal told me that they will always address a person by their first and last name in an e mail message.....If you get any e mail like this report it to Paypal immediatly.....I hope this helps and spread the word so no one gets ripped off by whoever is sending these fake paypal e mails...

Happy New year,

Tamiyamandan

I got the same one today. Those scammers are getting good as the e-mail look like it was from paypal. Anytime I get those I just log into my account and unless I get an error message then I know I am okay.

The e mail looks very very authentic.....I hope everyone reads this so no one gets scammed....Spread the word....I do alot of ebay and would hate for this to happen to someone...I also got an e mail awhile back that said someone tried numerous times to get into "My Ebay" with incorrect passwords....So Now I frequently change my ebay password....Just something to keep in mind...

one bummer about clicking the link is that it tells the scammer that your e-mail address is active. that's why I don't even click the links

All you do is forward the email to

spoof@paypal.com

or

spoof@ebay.com

They will investigate it.
