[MattyH16valver]

I'd say that looks genuine....it's definately the secure site, and no ones asking for ur login details outside of the paypal site.....so I don't see the problem. :wink:

[Rich]

[FATBOY]

well the mail was sent from this e mail address aft@verizon.net

fishy to me??? also logged in and theres no messages whatsoever?

[Justin..]

scam then imo, woulda been sent from paypal.com or sumthin

[kj16v]

If Paypal send you something they always put your username on it. They never say "dear user" I bet you if you had right-clicked on the link and clicked "copy shortcut", when you pasted it into the address bar it would have nothing to do wih Paypal.

My email spam folder gets at least 100 of these half-assed phishers every week. ****ing sick of them. I know it's expensive to follow up but I wish police or whoever would kick their arses. :evil:

you didnt mention that bit!!!!

[nyk]

I see these every day at work, and sadly people do fall for them.

Lots of e mails from banks, they make an exact copy of the genuine site. You log in and they get all you internet banking details.


The advice I give is never log into anything from a link in an email. Always use your favourites!
