And if you get a fake paypal screen, forward to spoof@xxxxxxxxxx I received one a
couple of weeks ago. Looked very authentic! Jim

warned
Hi; Since e-Bay now owns PayPal, report (forward) the scam
to them. Here's the info:
Report Fraudulent Email -- If you have
any doubt whether an email is from eBay, use your email client¹s"forward"
feature to forward a copy of it to spoof@xxxxxxxx immediately with
full header information, if possible. If you have already replied to the
fraudulent email, contact your bank and/or credit card companies immediately
to prevent identity theft.
They will respond to you with basic
fraud info warnings and a thank you for helping. If all these scams were
forwarded quickly, they can track a lot of them down.

PayPal users be warned
I apologize for this e-mail, but I
think its relevant since so many of us use eBay and PayPal to buy and sell
parts and, in some cases, cars. Just to warn everyone to keep a sharp eye
out, an e-mail scam much like one used on eBay users is now being used on
PayPal members as well (I just got the spoof e-mail). The message indicates
that you will need to confirm credit card information and has a link that
looks like its going to paypal.com, where you're supposed to enter said
information. However, you should take careful notice that this link does not
actually take you to paypal.com, but a look-alike
website.
