IMPORTANT: SCAM for PAYPAL info

[velvett]

There's a name for this but it escapes me right now, North Fork bank was getting a lot of these too.

If you get an email from what SEEMS like PAYPAL saying:

The security questions and answers for your PayPal account were changed on March. 1, 2006. If you did not authorize this change,please contact us immediately using this link :

https://www.paypal.com/us/contact-us

Don't enter your info - it's a referring site to here looking to get your log in info.

I get a ton of emails from Paypal and eBay daily. Disregard them all. If eBay sends you a message, it'll be in your 'My eBay' page, everything else is not legit.

You're geeky like me, many people don't know that and for those that don't know BANKS get spoofed like this too.

Paypal sucks now.

That's all they're known for these days is unsecure business and constant scams that they have yet to put a lid on. I had to cancel one of my credit cards last year because someone got the number, and all the evidence pointed towards a Paypal breach of security. I ignore every unsolicited bit I get from Paypal.

WOW.

Mr. X said something similiar - I rarely use it but I've never had an issue and never get emails from them.

i can't believe people still fall for the paypal and ebay things. I get TONS of them a day. you only have to hold your mouse over the link to see that its not sending you to the actual site anyway, even if you did think they really emailed you.

I've been getting these for ages. Whenever I go to paypal, it's through the link in my favourites, or through Google.

Indeed. Always verify that the destination and the visible text match before considering whether to click on an unsolicited link.

I'd love to catch these turds and make them pay. They would be crying for their mommas after I got done with them.
