smilemaker · 03-22-2007

hey guys if u have ever recieved such kind of mail then please post their picture here so that everyone can know about it and can prevent themselves from being hacked

I received one the other day but I deleted it, I didn't even take a glance! I knew that they it was a fake because it was from "paypal@paypal.com" and the subject was "You have received a payment of $1,000!"

I instantly knew that this was a fake as Paypal uses the recipient that is sending the payment to you's email + I hadn't received the payment when I logged into Paypal!

Most of the time i recieve emails from some widow of a Nigerian who has died and wants to send all her fortune to my account. what i do is i simply select it and delete it.

A few weeks ago I received one from "money@paypal.com" telling me I had won a Paypal competition and I had to log into some page where the address was just an IP address

Yes one more thing you should keep in mind
When mails comes to you regarding paypal dont ever click that link
Type paypal.com on your own and then give the id and pwd

There are so many mails revieced everday by the paypal users that it would be difficult to put screenshot of easn of them here. Almost all have one thing in common that they have a warning to immidiatly go to your account through the link given in the mail.

I receive loads of them and you know whats the funny part? They are sent to the email address which I never added or used at paypal, neither used it for any correspondence with paypal customer support.
