Guest Virginia Dawn Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I've seen other's ask this question, now I am. Here is what I recieved today.

Dawn E Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Paypal doesn't address you as "Paypal customer" but by your name as they know it. They always look so legit don't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ria Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 It's a scam. Ignore it. Whatever you do, do not give them any information. The email you got probably looks like it came from paypal, but if you click on it, you'll see that the address it connects to is NOT paypal. It might have paypal in the name, but it's not www.paypal.com. Don't give them any info. Ria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Alfred Academy Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I've gotten this three times in the last week. One of them even had "paypal" misspelled! That was my first clue it was not legit...duh! :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam "SFSOM" in TN Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 NEVER click links in emails that could be scammy. Right. Just hover your mouse over the link and look at the bottom left of your screen. You'll see what it connects to at the bottom. And it ain't Paypal. Paypal (the real one) has a link you can forward the email to (with full headers turned on, I think) to report the scam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
