Classic "phishing" technique

I have received that email three or four times lately saying they were going to freeze my account but there is one problem I do not have a Paypal account

I haven't seen that one yet. Thanks for showing us.

send that email directly to PayPal at ... spoof@paypal.com they want all of them they can get as they build cases against frauds.

Yes that was the first thing I did... I wish I could Zip myself and when the scum open's the mail I could pop out of the monitor and beat the cit out of him/her

Yep - be sure to include the email header information.


FYI - NO bank or other company like this will EVER email you asking you to login.

If you see any emails like this, feel free to use your bookmark/favorite and go to the site manually. NEVER use links inside the email.

If you roll your mouse over the links you will see they actually go to different URLs.

Another way to tell a scam is to carefully read all of the text because there will almost always be some improper grammar or mispelled words. Notice in the first screenshot the word "choise" instead of choice and the word "temporaly" instead of temporarily.

That scam has been around for 4-5 years. The toughest one is when you open up an auction and you click anywhere on the screen and it quickly links you to a page that appears to be the ebay login page where you have to relog in and enter your password. Thats the best one I have seen.

I have just reported two different scam e-mails in a row. E-bay says they are really concerned, but this has been going on for years! I would think they could have figured these guys out by now................

As with any email scam, a link to click on will be there and highlighted as a link they want you to click on. Never click on it, just put your cursor over it and read the info at the bottom tool bar. You will not see https://www.paypal.com but you will see http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt%20%20LaSV66fNtDg.kAUoJXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTE2ZHVu Z3E3BGNvbG8DdwRsA1dTMQRwb3MDMwRzZWMDc3IEdnRpZANGNj U1Xzc1/SIG%148vsd1jp/EXP%1138544186/**http://195.98.59.34/~test/.us/link.php?bWFpIHByb3N0=aWxvciBtYWkgc3VnZXRpIHB1bGEg ZnV0dXZhIG1hbWVsZSBpbiBndXRhIGRlIGxhYmFyaSBjZSBzdW 50ZXRpIHNpIGRvYm90b2NpIHBpc2VtYX
