new E-bay Paypal scam

['CUDA360]

Maybe this isn't new but It's the first time I have seen it.  Basicly, a new E-mail arrives saying it is a receipt from Paypal for some woman's underwear!! I guess I was supposed to get all mad and hit the reply button and give them all my password information.

I just cleared out my files and cookies and replied with some nonsense madeup info and it took me to a real looking paypal site asking to retype my info again!!

I reported it to Paypal but they probably get those bogus scams all the time.

Good luck getting any of my bank account info you B@stards!!!   I have $2.71 in it right now....

NICE TRY!!!!!

Those things are becoming more and more common. I have been getting one asking if my item is still for sale. They never mention the item name. The item description and number don't show up in the email anywhere. If those thieves spent as much time and effort doing something legitimate they might actually become sucessful at something.

No doubt, I get those in my reg. email about once a week, thing is, I never had a paypal in the first place, but it does look sort of official, prob. fools a lot of people.

Just forward any bogus email from "ebay" or "paypal" to spoof@ebay.com or spoof@paypal.com. They can track down the origin of the phished email and hopefully prosecute. (in our dreams, right!)
Make sure you forward the entire email, don't cut and paste because they need the IP info from the email and that's imebedded in the email somewhere.

I got that one a few weeks ago. I never keep more then 100. at a time in my account unless I plan on using it as soon as the money shows in my account. That way, if they do hack in my account, no one will get much.

saw one paypal scam awhile back and it had like a list of 10 people on it  that you're suppose to send a $1 and then you put your name on the bottom of the list and send it out. Some how your spose to make thousands of dollars off of this.
