PayPal email Address being bombarded by Fake Phishing emails

[clarry100]

Just in the past couple of days our paypal email accout is being bombared by these fake receipts for varying amounts and various sellers.

Of course they are junk but we are getting 5-6 each day now.

There is an embedded link under the CANCEL link that would take you off the somewhere in India.

Trust that if you will. Don't think so.

Anyone else getting these.

I find that I usually get a few in one or two days but then they stop for a month or so. I've been getting them for a few years now.

I've had a stack of receipts over the last few days, but I've paid for a lot of stuff I've bought too. I'm assuming all the ones I got a real! Do the fake ones mention your name, or are they just a 'dear member' email? I'm not sure I've ever seen one......

I'll look at the message detail in the morning when I'mback on my pc again.
The way I tell straight away it's a fake is to hover (do not click) the mouse over the cancel link in the message body. Then down the bottom of screen on the status bar you can see what the embedded link is the scammers want you to go to. In a real message this is s PayPal link but on the fake ones it's always some weird place nothing to do with PayPal.
