I don't know how long this one has been around but it hit me today for the first time. Supposedly from PayPal, it gives you a "receipt" for a payment, and a website link to click on for a refund if you didn't authorize the transaction. Very slick, but (a) it doesn't use your Paypal ID name, just your e-mail, and (b) it mixes up stuff about your supposed EBay purchase with stuff about shipping to an unconfirmed address. Forwarded it to http://spoof@paypal.com and promptly got confirmation that it was a fake. Be careful out there guys.
IT is not a new Scam . That method was discussed by victims of E-Bay scam in a collecting forum in Israel , Involving the Coins , Banknotes , Stamps , Envelopes , and everything else. Some victims of this scams from various collecting hobbies told how they were cheated and warned the public.
You know if I was gonna commit fraud I would do everything in my power to avoid involving the Isreali authorities! They are just too darn efficient for me to want them investigating/prosecuting my crimes!
