I received an email claiming to be a receipt sent from PayPal on Friday night 7/11/14 at 10.36pm.
The email had an attachment in the format of a word document. Like an idiot
I opened the attachment to find details of a transaction that claimed I had purchased 200 disposable puppy toilet training mats for approximately $36+. I can't remember the exact amount.
I have made no such purchase.
I went straight to my PayPal account to see if it had been compromised but there was no such transaction registered. I immediately changed my PayPal password.
I have logged in to my PayPal account a few times since, under my new password, but still no transaction is showing for this bogus transaction.
I have emailed PayPal to report the incident.
I am still kicking myself for being stupid enough to open the **bleep** attachment
I seem to get a heap of these - daily - then nothing for a while.
Always have something like AU-Adcommerce-EOM@ebay.com - or similar.
Forward them to spoof@paypal.com
They email back sying yep it was phishing & with a polite thank you for keeping the site safe.
Don't know what they are doing about it as the above address is on most.
