Paypal new scam!

Ehh there's a very simple way to find out whether it is from paypal or some phisher rather than banging your heads togather - if you get such mails (I'd say any mail from paypal) just forward it to - and wait for the reply, you will know whether is it from paypal or some scammer!!

 

Yup. Don't simply press on any link that coming from an unknown reason or something. Not just only this paypal scamming thing, also same goes to those like asking you to give them your full details and click on the link for the reward or what.

 

We are contacting you to remind you that on June 3 2006 our Account Review Team identified some unusual activity in your account. In accordance with PayPal's User Agreement and to ensure that your account has not been compromised, access to your account was limited. Your account access will remain limited until this issue has been resolved.


nobody noticed one small thing. The date given is 3rd june which is yet to come

 

Hahahahahahahahah Good 1 SAM ... Positive for you!

 

Good detective of DP family. But on some of this spam mail, it doesn't mentioned about the future date, instead, it mentioned an earlier one. Positive to sam1.

 

Whenever you login to paypal, always do so by typing www.paypal.com in your address bar and never login to paypal by following any link whatsoever. Simple

 

Man do you know something about Domain Masking

for example check this www.yahoo.com click and see it will take you to MSN.com...

just like that they set there own Scamy URL over paypal.com ...

It is posted as a Paypal url HERE becoz i just and copy and pasted here... and VBulliten Automatically parse links in text..

Understud now???? i hope you are

 

Too much heat in this thread, hehe. Anyhow, i've received the same email too but thanks to the long history of being spammed with PayPal scams i just deleted it -_-.

 

This Paypal employs psychics!!!

I would just love it if my regular bank had the abilty to tell me what the activity on my account will be next week. Note, anyone that claims to have insider information on your bank account from the future is quite probably a con artist.

- reading past that date issue now....

 

Never rely on what you see when you hover over a link. My borther prooved that can be faked by sending me and a few others a link one time that loooooooked real, even when hovered over, but it did NOT take us to the site that it should have taken us to... Instead it took us to a page on his website that told us we had followed a fake link. I'm not sure how he did it, but he prooved that you do not rely on the fact that the information you see at the bottom of the screen looks legitimate.

As The Webmaster said, just forward it to PayPal's Spoof center and they will tell you if it was fake or not. Never ever ever ever click on any links no matter how real they look. It is just too easy to make it look real even to those that think they know what a fake mail looks like.

And good going Sam1!!!! As I was reading along I was wondering why no one else had noticed the date. Good eye! I'll see if I can figure out how to give you a positive

 

First of all pay pal will always call you by your name. Secondly pay pal will never ask you for your details. Finally most phishing URLs do something like this:

https://www.paypal.com <(=== CLICK

 

One time their dumbass member of staff told me to click on the link and fill in the details... Thank god i was not there when they emailed me because just a few minutes after their first email i got another one telling me it was a mistake and i should not do it!

 

Dude...I know what u r saying...If you want to post something and alert everyone you need to have the right thing posted. You were careless not to post the 'RIGHT THING'. From whatever u posted the domain was right and so was the page where it took us...so its ur mistake not mine I just had a look at the URL and the page it took it to me and I posted my comments....Goto to seclists or bugtraq (hope you know what it is) and search on my name....u'll find out that I am not what u think I am

 

That simply says, this world is full of dumbasses!! after Microsoft now they got Paypal too....

 

I agree webmaster..... sometimes u seem to be senseful!

 

ehh thanks for the complement, but that happens once in a blue moon

 

paypal is all scam they suck!!!

 

No they dont!!!

 

yes they do!!! worst company ever, no support at all, steal money without an excuse

 

Everyone has bad experiences with something or the other....dosent make them bad tho!!!
