when i click the link provided i get a message that tells me it is a PHISHING scam. it says that phishing hes been reported.




anyone else had one of these?

 

Give me your pay pal details and I'll open it for you

 

If you have any doubts simply login to your PP account in the normal way and send the admin team the meassage you have received and see what they say.

I don't trust anything like the type of e-mail you have received. Just copy it, enter my account via the trusted links I have and then paste the relevant info into the enquiry form......... Job done, if it's genuine you will get a response fairly quickly and if it's bogus at least you have let PP know that some one is running a scam.

Cheers

i dont normally open these things, not really sure what phishing means

DCI, whats mine is yours

 

Fake, if it was from PayPal it would have your username at the top, not "Dear PayPal holder"

 

Never ever ever click on a link to "take you to a page" where you verify your details.

THis goes for banks, Gas companies, Paypal, absolutely anyone.

If you are unsure if something is genuine - open a new browser window and type in the URL directly (or go via your favourites), log in and you will soon know if something is amiss.

 

I like to think so

 

Exactly. We had something similar a while back, and it turned out to be a scam. Reported it, and all was well. Definately worth getting in touch with paypal about.

 

I just logged in to that 'paypal' link with a very abusive email address and password and am now logged into a version of paypal

 

......... I'll do the same tonight

 

i hope thats not tracked back to me

dci, i think you have taken all i have

 

Not unless your email address is ****@****off.com with a password of go****yourselfyousetof****s

 

Ring them asap.

I got sent something last yr when someone accessed my account and took out 1.5k....paypal luckily didn't authorise it to be taken from the account (they took it from my credit card)........I got the 1.5k back and then for some reason paypal sent me another 1.5k...lol...RESULT!

I had to do a lot of messing about to sort it out though, printing and faxing proff of ID etc etc, it can be a right ballache.....

Ring them directly IMO.

 

Like it!

 

Sara, let me put it this way:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOO

Clear?

The "Dear customer" bit gives it away from the outset!

 

Not everything.......

 

http://213.242.251.60/online.paypal....paypal.com/us/

 

someone beat you to that bit

 

crystal

 

ist a fake, the ip address link instead of www.paypal.co/,,,,,,, etc give it away, forward the email on to paypal to help em crack down on emails like this

 

Check separately with PayPal, and don't have anything to do with that message!

Les

its been reported now

i actually found the replies to this thread........useful

 

I actually found the thought that someone would think this was genuine, astounding and unbelievable.............

and getting a monitor full of ***** and fannys PMSL

 

Bloody hell

The infraction was a bit ott don't you think?

It's worth a try surely!
