Scam email for paypal

millieshops — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 01:38:33 GMT

Just got an email telling me my paypal account is being limited because there's info missing. Of course, there's a link to click on, but no name address, etc. to identify my account.

It's a scam. Don't click.

I stopped using Paypal years ago. Got tired of all the scams.

Scammers try anything they can to get a sucker .... but if you get a scam email about your supposed Paypal account, take a second to forward it to .....

Spoof@paypal.com .....

they send you an email thanking you and they are working to disable that email scammer!

I don't click on links in emails and rarely click on links here.

I think it's rather amusing to get a paypal scam email. I don't even use paypal!

I use Paypal every time it's an option for payment. It means there's one less source for my credit card being misused. I especially like it for foreign transactions. They saved me $120, when I made a purchase in Asia from what turned out to be a scammer. Paypal got my money back.
