PayPal Scam *LOOK IMPORTANT*

[NESCollector75]

I know this is not video game related, just I wanted as many people to see this as possible.


I recently received an email from rf582rf6hp@paypal.com (could be a different user for u) a copy of the email:

we get emails like that from "ebay" & "paypal" everyday at my work. We just delete them. I really don't think ebay or paypal care if they are told about them or not. I used to forward them to them but I think it is a waste of time.

Thanks for the heads-up.

But even if I didn't have a warning or a suspicious nature, the "September 31, 2003" date would be a big red flag.

I got that mail too, and deleted it. Franjly you must be not too smart if you respond to that mail giving all that information.
