Briank Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 We have just received an email from Paypal to say that they have suspended our account because it has been fraudulently used. We have been asked to click on a link to receive our password. As far as we know we have never used Paypal so we don't have an account so we haven't clicked on the link. Could this be yet another scam?Brian & Jan (86) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baz Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Paypal and Ebay will always address you by your NAME anything else is a hoax. The hoaxers seem at present to be using Paypal.Baz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David & Janet Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I have just received a Account Authorisation Required from Paypal, on my gite account. As i too do not have a paypal account, i assumed it was a scam? it asks for passwords and account names, but no account so guessed it was not for real. Thanks for confirming my fears.RegardsJanet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldie Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 You should forward it to PayPal ([email protected]). They will confirm it is a scam, and they will also look into the problem (so they tell me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sid Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 As Baz has said above, all legitimate emailers will address you by name. If it starts 'dear customer' it's a good indication that they don't actually know you.Sid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David & Janet Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Opps! i already deleted it,as advised above, but should another one arrive ,i will forward it to paypal,regardsJanet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
