Lazy Payal Scam Letters

Are they not even trying anymore?

This guy just included his regular email address in the letter without trying to disguise it or anything. Using the "someone's added a new email" shock value is not a bad idea, but come on: are those guys getting lazier or dumber?

 

Yeah that's pretty bad. I've received quite a few emails from "Paypal" in the past, but none of them ever fooled me.

More recently, I've received a few from my local bank (hmm I wonder how they got my address, since I never gave it to them) that asked me for my account info. So I decided to let a teller know about it and she informed me that a few of their members lost everything due to this spoof email.

 

I always delete those emails. I don't leave money sitting in my paypal account for long periods of time anyway.

 

Here is the sad thing: some of my real paypal emails are now winding up in the spam section, that includes "payment received" notifications for my directory.

 

hey, that a great idea!.. I mean if I were a scammer (and that's a big "if" out there ) I would definitely do something like that..

I think it would be even more useful to send something like "you've just received $3,873 by paypal, click here to confirm..."

 

I hate those paypal scam letters, I get so many of them, about 5 per-day. Stupid scammers.

 

I always reply just telling em to fuck off...a lot of them have bad english, but i think they probably understand that?
