just to let all know, i got a fake paypal email today.. it was very convincing.

this is what it looks like..(sorry it's so big..)

i dont know how they get the same email as paypal..

a few strange things...

1) i have 7 USD in my paypal, not 500...
2) i dont have over 500 in my bank..
3) it was in my junk email, as opposed to being in my inbox as normal paypal messages are.
4) when you click the DISPUTE link they have it brings you to some weird page,like an IP + Host + paypal.com not www.paypal.com, i didnt notice that until after the fact, so i had to change my password.

this is just a warning for all that use paypal

BE CAREFULL OF FRAUD EMAILS!
 
I got this exact e-mail also. Thank you for letting everyone know about it.
 
That's a very convincing email. Thanks for the warning. Most people don't even check the link.
 
no problem, i just think it's someone from sythe or SRL, cause those are the only forums i'm active on ATM :p


just watchin everyones back for 'em
 
Yep, i also got. I got a Runescape one too. BTW, since SMTP does not need authentication, they can fake the e-mail it seems to be coming from. however, anyone with expertise can check if it actually came from that e-mail or not.
 
unfortunetaly i wasnt smart enough to think of that before saying, wtf i didnt buy this shit. haha, oh well, good thing they didnt get me..
 
Good god your retarded. Do you even read what paypal has to say about emails...

You must be fairly new to paypal if your just witnessing a fake paypal email. They happen all the time, not that big.
 
Yeah I found it in my junk email folder lol. At first I was like when did this happen, but then I realized I didn't have that much in my paypal.
 
Its just comon sence to know that you dont have that much money in your paypal account or you can just go check out your history anyways....

no, i didnt read what paypal has to say, and shut the fuck up, i'm not retarded, anyone would fall for it the first time without knowing, it's trial by error, now i know, so shut the fuck up and dont flame me.

oh no, an infraction. i dont care, i'm not going to not flame someone back when they flame me for simply helping everyone out.

I got this few days ago and I actually believed it

The funny part is, my paypal associated with my email address was hacked long time ago and its locked now. However I kinda thought someone had access to it and brought a PS3 (which is what was on the fake email) and I am going to have to pay it.

Then I emailed back saying not to ship the PS3. No replies yet but thanks for the heads up
