Paypal Email scam

[texasthree]

I just thought I would let everyone know that there is a paypal email scam going on that is really pretty impressive. The email says you paid paypal a large amount of money to a company, lists the product, shipping, everything and looks just like a paypal email. At the bottom is says you can click a link to dispute the charge if you didnt make it and when you click the link it looks exactly like the paypal website but the www......is way off. It looks fairly correct and if your not on guard with email fraud you may really think someone has ripped off your paypal account.
Just an fyi, in case anyone else receives it.

I also get these emails about 3 times a week. They come in my Junk Email, so I just ignore them. I also get one that says an extra user has been added to your account. Do you know if this is the same thing? I have never opened it. I have checked my account on Paypal and they seem to be ok.

They are along the same line, they want you to put in your real username and password and my guess it that they will then highjack it. I know ebay has a fraud email that you can forward these kinds of spam emails to and they will supposedly look into it. I wonder in paypal does? I will look into it.

I KEEP getting these!!! I've reported it to Paypal BUNCHES of times and get the little email that says "thank you for reporting--we'll look into it." Well, with all the info I've given them, you'd think they would have had PLENTY of time to "look into it!"

Right click on them and then hit "Block Sender". Then that sender will not be able to send you anymore.
