Paypal Phishing Emails, BEWARE!

Aww, I'm so glad you didn't fall for that. I get these at least once every couple of weeks or so. I send them over to Paypal...www.spoof@paypal.com so they can see it. Yes, when I first got them it did scare me and I also get junk like this from Ebay too. I wish I could catch these creeps but its almost impossible.

I got the same email at all 3 of mine. I knew they were fake as 2 of my emails I dont have paypal connected to them. Scammers.

What you should do is to go on the Paypal website and then forward the email to the Paypal spoof address. I get a lot of them, and one thing is that Paypal never addresses you as "Dear customer." They use your name. Trouble is that some of these spoofs are so good, they almost full us. I often get them in my non-paypal email.

hi echoforever I just got mine and deleted thanks for the warning as it did look professional till I read the email paypael does not write like that either so I knew it was phishing. ugh shame on them those phishers.,.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well i can understand the situation u must have gone through then. Well to be honest i had never expected that u will receive any phishing mail that too from Paypal. I mean seriously there is something wrong going on these days on internet, i think someone is misusing Paypal and had sent this mail otherwise one would not expect such mails from Paypal at least. What say?

thanks a lot for sharing this post because i will get notice at this email and prevent myself get scammed by people. i really hate scammers because they make the world dirty and untrustful. once ago i was scammed before by those pay and get reward type scammers and lost some money. well what i can blame on is myself for not paying attention and easily cheated but i really do wish this kind of people vanish from this world.

You have done a very good job. and opened eyed so many people related with paypal. There was a one case with me also which has resulted in loss of $10 but it is not paypal but LR someone has withdrawn my all deposit. but how, I coulnt know it. I inquired for this but there is no answer from LR support also. So we have to be alert from these kind of web thieves.

Thanks for sharing. Phishing mails are really rampant nowadays. We always should be cautious of such spam mails coming. We don't want our Paypal money from all the online hard work go to scammers and evil doers right?

Beware first of all thanks for you that information.But I also know that things before start your discussion.Internet is become a paradise for spam and scam people and its might be attract to more and more scam people which have scam so many people by using different ways that is one of them.Probably they can use fake email address,fake personal address,giving a huge amount to get reach in the overnight and they behind themselves with legt and major groups.They have earn money easily and illegally y innocent to offer them a huge amount that why their are falls in scam.They are contact easily because internet powerful tool for connecting other people.Scammers can also gain your personal information like as email address and other from different websites(probably used by people) because so many websites are take part to selling user information for some bucks.That reason if you have more account with single email then you will phishing email from criminal people.Please careful that fake emails and in the end one thing remember .com domain will send email with associate .com domain link...........

Glad that I never get this kind of email. The email which say that my Paypal has been limited does actually really come from Paypal By the way, it's actually cool since paypal.co is a legit domain owned by Paypal. I guess that email sender had been masking the "sender address" so that it would looks legit..

Yes they are some that tries hard to destroy your profile with PayPal. They sent me some to my e-mail but I didn't answer them, thanks for the tip, I'll keep an eye on it the same, we might have to report them.

Thanks for the info...I have paypal account connected to my online business. So good for me I haven't use my bank info yet. I use paypal for ordering online only.

hi echoforever Thank you for your mention though i didnt often use paypal emails.there are too much phishing things such as phishing sites,phishing softwares and phishing emails and so on to scam us.we should be careful,i got a friend also give me a warning about shopping online who had got a heavy loss of money when he tried to buy a pair of shoes online.thanks again..

This again? Even though this is a very old trick, a few still don't know about it - That is what they rely on though. Imagine if 10% of people have never heard of this, imagine again if 1 million dodgy emails are sent out - 10 % of that is 100000.... easy pickings

Ohhh God no single website is safe from hacker then why we earn online money. I am really worried about it because last years I lost my 20 dollar from different sites all account was hacked.

Thankyou so much, it's very very helpful. Keep yourself safe!

Thanks for sharing this information. Hope that will serve as a warning to our other mylotters.

Luckily i still not receive any paypal phising email, i be careful next time

Hello, thanks a ton for sharing this post, with your help, people can avoid getting into scamms . A big thanks from all mylot community!

That is horrible! I can't believe someone would do that. But how did they get your e-mail? I also can't believe that the phisher would make it so obvious though. And he also sent a other people this too!
