Angry PAYPAL Scam!
Saw this posted on another forum.


I recieved this email today, it looked like it was from PAYPAL.com, but the link that was provide in the email will send you to somehwere else with your LOG ON ID and PASSWORD. I hit properties for the link provied and the properties URL was to (http://teodosiuandrei.go.ro/) there is even a Paypal logo with the blue head just like Paypal's website heading.

SO BEWARE to all. I have already contacted Paypal. Still waiting for a response.


This is the email, but the heading didn't transfer over.


To: Siribx
Subject: PayPal notice #23644

( BIG PAYPAL LOGO HERE)
(BLUE LINE RUNNING ACROSS THE PAGE HERE)

I get dozens of phishing scams like this every month. Supposedly I'm in danger of at least a dozen different accounts being suspended if I don't provide my personal information.

I've also been approved for hundreds of mortgages and truckloads of penis pills.

The penis pill ones are the worst. They send out like 15 of the same email in a matter of 1 minute.

Penis pills? better stock up on those! As for the emails, I've been getting lots of bank ones. Good thing I'm not part of SunTrust bank.

Email Security

Look for a PayPal Greeting: PayPal will never send an email with the greeting "Dear PayPal User" or "Dear PayPal Member." Real PayPal emails will address you by your first and last name or the business name associated with your PayPal account. If you believe you have received a fraudulent email, please forward the entire email—including the header information—to spoof@paypal.com. We investigate every spoof reported. Please note that the automatic response you get from us may not address you by name.
Don't share personal information via email: We will never ask you to enter your password or financial information in an email or send such information in an email. You should only share information about your account once you have logged in to https://www.paypal.com/.
Don't download attachments: PayPal will never send you an attachment or software update to install on your computer.

i used to get one that was recurring, it was www.paypai.com, but the i was capitalized, so it looked like www.paypaI.com... in ariel print(or any other sans serif) it looks just like paypal.,.
