    Fake Paypal Emails

    I just got this email saying i paid a paypal user. I did not make this payment, It looks like a legitimate paypal email. But after reading through their site it states, all emails from paypal will be directed at you, not to "Paypal member" or "Paypal User". If you do receive and email like this it instructs you to foward it to. spoof@paypal.com

    So this is a warning incase any of you receive something similiar

    I've gotten a few saying my account was overdrawn or a security breach, and they wanted me to reconfirm my pin, address and bank account numbers - Oh riiiiight, I'll jump right on THAT one - NOT!

    First I've seen with a transaction report though. Did you check you account on the REAL paypal?

    Yes i checked RIGHT away. My paypal account is fine. I assume if i clicked that link to "dispute" it would have fubared my PC, or something.

    This is a Legit paypal email. Directed to me, not to a paypal member

    They both had the same headings etc...

    I'm familiar with REAL paypals ... ESPECIALLY to "certain" people
