Chargeback Forum - View Single Post - Fraud Alert: Important Notice from PayPal Resolution Center

georgeb · 03-17-2008

Hi Chargebackers ....

My name, obviously, is George B. I am new to Chargeback and have this bit to add to your archives:

Today I received this message, and subsequently contacted PayPal via email (from THEIR WEBSITE) about it, and I also sent a "reply", complete with "attachments" to the REAL dorkwads who sent it to me (see their email address below, complete with a domain name that includes "paypal" in it.). I hope my "message" blows up in their gateway ...
