[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 112130, member: 669"]I don't know how long this one has been around but it hit me today for the first time. :mad: 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 [URL="http://spoof@paypal.com"]http://spoof@paypal.com[/URL] and promptly got confirmation that it was a fake. [b]Be careful out there guys[/b].:rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
