(1/6) > >>

wing nut:
iv'e had my second bogus email from the fake paypal, trying to get my financial details from me ...and to say im a bit fed up with it is an understatement ..i let the real paypal know but there isn't much they can do about it ..i must say though you can't tell the difference, other than instead of saying your ebay user name, it just says dear paypal member so beware folks dont give out your details  :x  :evil:

gords:
As a cover-all-situations-rule ... assume any email that asks you to confirm your details by going to a web site is fake :wink:

If you're ever not sure, them them an independent email or phone them. Just do not click that link :wink:  :lol:

abinitio:
You can always click the link and put in fake details.

If I do this I usually put a different swear word in each box.

Also if you hoover over the link and look at the bar at the bottom of the screen if will display the true address.

If you are convinced it's genuine then always open a new window and log in from there.

I have been know in the past to track the culpret to their ISP and I then e-mail the ISP about the fraud their customer is attempting :D

wing nut:
As a precaution i changed my password as the real paypal instructed ,but it does make you wonder how safe your your account is.. Im just glad I spotted it  :P
