F*%$ING scammers! - rocco79 - 01-10-2007
Checkin my email at lunch and i had an email from paypal ... It all looked so real. It said that i needed to confirm my order for my new dell for 699.99 the shipping address was someone that wasnt me ! I was like WTF?!?!?!?!
Well at the bottom of the email it said "cancel transaction" so i clicked it... I was taken to a very similar looking page to paypals. I entered my password then it asked for all my info like address, CREDIT CARD NUMBERS ANDS BANK ACCOUNTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was like FCUK THAT SH!T this is fake !!!! Upon closer inspection there were question marks "?" all over the page, i think to keep them from copyright infringement!
Well i quickly signed into the REAL paypal site and change my password! I hate phishing scamming POS!!!!!!!!!!!!

good catch....criminals are a clever bunch.
Never link from an email to any site looking for your info.

That's why you NEVER click a link from "ebay" or "paypal", you never know who it is from

Ditto, snakebite. I send all questionable paypal mail to them. Only once did they respond that it was a ligitimate attempt at spam from them. So I said so more spam.
