<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Endeavor, post: 2208084, member: 60292&quot;]They most probably don&#039;t know there is a PayPal account associated with your email address. I&#039;ve received phishing emails from merchants that I don&#039;t have accounts with. For example, department stores (Target, Sears, etc) or stock brokerages (Fidelity, TDAmeritrade, etc.). A lot of times it&#039;s a real shot in the dark for them (the scammers). This is the most likely scenario.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the scammers are sending emails only to PayPal emails, then it&#039;s possible they breached PayPal&#039;s security. It&#039;s also possible they hacked eBay and got your email from there. Or any other online site that you have your PayPal account tied with.</p><p><br /></p><p>If neither of those two, then the scammer(s) could have gotten your PayPal email from a transaction you made with them previously. This is the least likely scenario and would most likely mean it&#039;s a small scale phishing operation.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=27832]@-jeffB[/USER] said he received the &quot;Yraptoveria&quot; also. So it could very well be a large email blast.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
