PayPal Users - Beware!
Posted: Tue Jun 13, 2006 7:48 pm
My coworker just got an email with a receipt for payment to another PayPal member. It was confirming that $215 was taken out of her account to pay someone for an iPod Nano she won on eBay. She didn't purchase this.
She clicked on "Dispute Transaction" (which never shows up on REAL PayPal e-mails) and it took her to a site that LOOKED like Paypal, but the URL at the top said "shopbuydesign.com/etc etc..." It asked for her credit card number so that she could get a refund. She started entering it in but then stopped because something seemed weird. She called me over, and we went to paypal.com to check her account, and there were no transactions in her recent history.
So PLEASE BEWARE of these e-mails! They come from "service@paypal.com:" just like all the normal ones...
Smart, sneaky hackers! :x
