Just received another Spoof Paypal email

So be Careful do not click - report to Paypal and delete.

I've received that one about 5 times this year. The first two times I reported it, but now I just delete.

Always good to be constantly reminded to be vigilant, thanks.

I also received this email and went searching.

This is a good site to explain this scam.

I get those often, sometimes up to 8 in one day.

There was a new one this morning that had no message at all

(different sending address)

there was an attachment included that I did NOT open.

Constant Vigilance! ;\

I got one yesterday and it went to spam folder automatically.

I got some saying "your credit card has changed" as well but my ISP blocked them.

Yep I have had a few, and just received another today. How do I report to ebay. Can I forward the email to them?

If it is a paypal email you send it to spoof@paypal.com and ebay is spoof@ebay.com. Just delete as soon as you have forwarded it.

Just wondering what e-mail service you are all using? I have 3 gmail accounts and I have never received one of these e-mails.

I don't get them with gmail, either.

Maybe Google uses decent spam filters, as opposed to the ones ISPs seem to use.

A few of them get through my filters but they are usually ones that address me by my ebay id, If I go and look I will find at least 50 that went straight to junk for every one that gets through.

The two i regularly get are the one for $79.30, and the one saying credit card has changed.

I used to forward them onto spoof@paypal.com, but then they got back to me saying they needed the full email as an attachment, so i did that. But again they got back to me to say they could not open attachments on emails and I needed to forward it as an attachment after logging onto paypal account and doing it that way.

Like I have enough time on my hands to do that - now i just delete them.

I've been receiving them for years without change, so clearly forwarding them on is a waste of time anyway.

I have a gmail address and get some spoof emails (I get more to my Yahoo address, which is used for my selling account on eBay and the primary address of my PayPal account. The gmail is the registered address on this account).

They tend not to be the most common PayPal or eBay ones though, and are usually "Fed Ex" or some other American delivery company telling me they tried to deliver a parcel and I have to click a link to download the details and verify my ID so I can collect it.
