Title: paypal fraud
Post by: Richie London on 12 April 2010, 18:03:15
have just recieved this e mail from tqvlis@yahoo.com

As part of our security measures, we regularly screen activity in
the PayPal system. We recently noticed the following issue on your account:


Unusual account activity has made it necessary to limit sensitive
account features until additional verification information can be collected.

We have been notified that a card associated with your account
has been reported as lost or stolen, or that there were additional problems with your card.

Case ID Number: PP-xxx-xxx-xxx
 

Please fill in all the details that are required to complete this verification process.


To do this we have attached a form to this email. Please download the form and follow the
instructions on your screen. NOTE: The form needs to be opened in a modern browser which has
javascript enabled (ex: Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 3, Safari 3, Opera 9)


Please understand that this is a security measure intended to help protect you and your account.
We apologize for any inconvenience.


If you choose to ignore our request, you leave us no choice but to temporary suspend your account.


Sincerely,
PayPal Account Review Department.

SAD.

Using a yahoo account for one.  But I allways remember when I signed up with paypal, they said they would never send me an email, they would allways contact me via the user screen once I have logged in, only email I would ever expect from them is one I would have requested if I had forgotton my password.

I have had a couple of these from pay pal, I sent them to pay pal who thanked me, have had others too, they look so real, even down the the senders email, I can understand why some may be fooled :(

Mind, get caught by the Nigerian, etc, bank fraud you deserve what you get... :D :D :D
