Just received another Spoof Paypal email


"Receipt for Your Payment to AU-AdCommerce-EOM@ebay.com" for $79.3.  Looks very real but its a spoof email, I have reported to Paypal.


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.

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.
