Paypal Fraud

I've just been sent an email from a fraud company trying to get me to give away my paypal details

They put a link up http://www.pharm21.com/https://www....l/trusted/resolution_center/confirm/index.php

and then I checked the main site and it's all in Japanese. These companies make me mad

 

I seriously get no less then 15 of those phising mails a day (and thats just Paypal)

gMail disables the url's when they are fake

 

I'll maybe set up a few bouncers to send the email to gmail then back again to me.

It really makes me want to send their server crashing though

 

Yeah, I get them all the time too. Paypal and lots of banks I've never heard of all telling me I'm about to have my account terminated, limited, suspended, blah, blah, blah.

 

Sometime I go to their login page and use 'forgot my password' tool.
Then its usually quiet for many days.

 

How do they get away with that though? Surely pay pal can trace all transactions.

 

Trace it to what...These sites are up for a matter of hours. That money is long gone before the person even notices it was transferred

 

Those guys are out of control. I actually click on an eBay one last year...must have been early in the morning or something. And, before I realized what I was doing, entered my login. Thought nothing of it. Then when my Outlook started having trouble logging into one of my pop accounts I took notice (my original eBay login was my email addy). Got a hold of a tech at my cable ISP and fixed up the login. I started getting ebay buyer questions about the motorcycle I was selling....I didn't own a motorcycle. The jokers had already put up a phony ad for a motorcycle for about half of what it normally would sell for on eBay.

I got the whole thing shut down, but eBay was not interested in doing anything but getting my account back in my hands. Forget about the sorry sap that could have bought a motorcycle that didn't exist...
