woa2 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I have just had a scam email, and so has my Daughter. It proports to come from Paypal saying you have just sent some money to someone. Do Not go onto the site specified as they seem to want your details and the site looks very like Paypal. If you check your legal Paypal account, the item will not appear. Don't know who is doing this, but be careful out there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can normally tell if its a scam as the real paypal normally quotes your name whereas the spoof normally starts with something like " dear client" but your right , still be careful !

gazzaw Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 To help Paypal track these and record them as spoof you should immediately forward them to Paypal without opening it up. spoof@paypal.co.uk and spoof@paypal.com usually I get a reply from them that it is confirmed as spoof etc and a thanks for passing it to them to deal with.
