Paypal Scammers

[anniv 63]

Just to alert, that this seems to be on the rounds again.
Another family member, who uses the main pc received a personal e mail addressed note looking
for personal details to be updated on an e mail address that looked dodgy.
The other dead giveaway was "Dear Costumer!!! the silly B...ers !!!

Mike, I don't know about 'doing the rounds again'...

In my own experience, these things have been a constant irritation every day for a few years, now.

For me this attempted scam has never gone away - I get these emails regularly but my spam filter is pretty good at junking them.

I do wonder why these low life bother in view of all the publicity and warnings that we receive but, there again, I suppose that, statistically, someone is going to fall for it.

Cheers.

I get e mails from every bank in the country asking me to update my details. Trouble is I only bank with one of them!

I have a few choice words that I send in reply. I don't get that many these days.

I don't even bother doing that, just erase them immediately. As someone said, it's the 'Dear Customer' that's the dead giveaway - genuine communications from PayPal will always address you by your name.

Best way to deal with these is to forward the mail to your providers security dept as a "scam" & then delete the msg.

they do get taken down eventually, but then another one pop's up................

I receive PayPal phishing attemps on a regular basis, either in english or french. I use to forward them to : spoof@paypal.com which is intented to report them.
