Scam Warning!PayPal.

[FarmerD]

This is for anybody that has a PayPal account.For the second time this month I received what looked like a genuine message from PayPal with the logo and it all looking like it was kosher.They say they,re changing something in ones settings and to" click this link" to confirm new settings.Well Sherlock D did,nt come up the Thames in a rowing boat.So I got onto Google and went SEPARATELY to PayPal to check and low and behold no such changes have been made.I,m making it light on purpose but this is very serious,do not click on any links to PayPal,do as I did and go SEPARATELY to PayPal if you have any queries.This scam could cost you a lot of money so please take heed.I,m going to try and contact PayPal to tell them about this.On a lighter note,saw GP yesterday and last bloods show I don,t have hyperthyroidism so no extra pills to take woohoo,stuck with the statins and BP pills though( forever more probably)Hope you can catch the last of the summer "Rays".Keep smiling and breathing! D.

I always forward suspicious emails to spoof@insert name of bank/paypal/etc

Hi - for some reason I have an email from 'paypal' every single day telling me all sorts of random c....! I never open any of them - delete straight away. If I ever think any of it might be genuine I go to my actual Paypal account and check because the information would show there. There's never a problem - the account just ticks away. It's just that my email address has got onto some list or other and hey presto. It's relentless.

On the other hand good news on your blood tests. x piggi

Good news about your health. There are so many scammers about, you have to be so careful xx

Hi that's great news about the blood tests , the PayPal account I had the same done to me the other week had email saying I had brought something and I hadn't soted it out and I changed my password that's what they said to do have a great day

I have a Paypal account, but thankfully have not been plagued with scam emails...yet?

If any suspicious messages ask you for your details i.e. Username, password etc., You can be sure it's a scam. Genuine sites never ask for personal details if you're already with them. You do right to report it Farmer, Paypal are very fast acting on such things. They've gotten money back for me several times after I've bought from a "rip-off" dealer.

I get emails every day claiming to be from paypal. I send them to paypal as spoof emails some days I get 2 or 3. paypal would always use your name and never address you as dear customer or dear paypal user. please don't click on any links they send

always send spoof email to paypal

if not sure who they are from then check on your paypal account are there should be a notification on paypal if they did send it

Scared of Paypal. Rather go without the goods than use that service.

Hi Farmer D. Thanks for mentioning the PayPal scam letter. I have received one too. Not the same as yours tho with links that the unwary might well click on. Mine was to do with a purchase that I had supposedly made but not paid for. The email was sent from "Ebay Customer Service([e-mail])" Note the spelling of paypel! Lots of PayPal logos and a London address. Looked kosher bar several mistakes. I went direct to EBay customer help/chat (not by clicking the link in the letter) and they confirmed it must be a spoof email. They asked me not to click on anything in the email but to forward it to [e-mail] which I have. I suggest you all do the same. They also said to forward it onto /www.actionfraud.police.uk but it didn't work. Maybe I didn't read correctly " .co.uk"? Must try again soon. PS it was for $79.00 for camera from Japan. The sort of amount, not too small or too large to cause alarm. Sneaky b*s aren't they?
