Paypal Scam I think
« on: May 19, 2010 - 01:26:44 PM »
I got an email that said to fill out all necessary verification data. I don't even use that address for Paypal.

I just wanted to let everyone know that you should NOT input any data!! SCAM

Oh yeah thats a scam. Paypal will never send you an e-mail asking for all your info, they already have it. I have got them in e-mail I don't use for Paypal as well. Just delete it, don't even open the links or you could get a virus/trojan that will try to steal info that way.

I wish we could line all these guys up against the wall. Teach em a lesson.  :villagers:

I've gotten a couple over the years that say something like my account will be suspended if I don't click on a link to update my info. I have never clicked on the link, and my account has never been suspended, so do the math.   :lol:  In any case, Paypal says they will address you by name when they send you any notification.
