I get those every now and then. From sites other than PayPal (supposedly) as well. I try to report them. Never give your password or account number.

Thank you for the reminder.

always report it by forwarding it to [email protected]
this way they can block that address from sending out more.

If you receive a suspicious email or "click on here"...don't click. You can wipe out your whole system if the wrong person gets your click. You can forward it to spoof @paypal.com or [email protected] (ebay owns paypal) and they will confirm authenticity for you.

Thanks for the information

Thanks for the info. Glad you were cautious!

I get them quite often, they are phursing (pronounced fishing)and I didn't spell it right but it's close. Anyhow it is scary thinking someone else might not be so careful, I send them to [email protected] and delete it right away because I'm scared it might contain computer eating viruses and stuff. It's a strange world out there and I can't believe how some people think and what they can think of. Sometimes I really wonder if we've done ourselves any favors with all the tech. today. Although without it I couldn't be chatting with you all and seeing all the beautiful art work you all do. Guess it's a catch 22 and most times I'm happy I have it available to me.

oppps forgot to say If it starts out with Dear Sir, instead of the name that's on the paypal account you know it's not from paypal they always address all emails to the account holder not a blanket sir or her :-)

i got one simular to that one also. i sent the email with full headers to paypal. i learned long ago not to click on anything that just doesnt seem right.

thanks for posting this

I don't have a pay-pal account, use money orders and never buy with credit cards on the web. I knew this could happen.Barb

This is what I did when I got the scam email about a month ago. Yikes!! the scam email looked absolutely official to me.
