Re: PayPal scam?

Just got a reply from PayPal thanking me for forwarding the spam.
As I thought they say that any corespondent from PayPal,will address me with my full name.

Re: PayPal scam?

I have had these loads of teams, and I always send back to spoof @paypal.
they are very good at replying--firstly to let you know it was a sppof, and then to thank you for reporting it.

Re: PayPal scam?

Thanks for the warning Emjay, not received any myself as I use PayPal a lot, and good job you notified them.

Best way to be Meg - well done!

I do get unsolicited emails from my banks telling me a statement's ready or something else but I'd never actually click on anything and if I saw that I'd bin it straight away.

Mine are so obvious though. stevmk2

Re: PayPal scam?

I have knocked up a 'scam' site today and on it will be all sorts of horror stories but to offset this there will be ways to protect too ...

Scammers Begone!
http://scammersbegone.co.uk

Will try and add content each and every day. Plenty of stories out there for sure.

Re: PayPal scam?

Julie has given the correct advice. Paypal wishes to know about all instances.
