I have seen other paypal ones before, but this is the first time I saw one that said an email addy had been added to my account, lol, I almost clicked it before I stopped to think, lol.

I just got this in my email. Using a different window I went to check it out and it doesn't look like they got into my paypal. But this is kinda scary.

You should forward those types of emails to paypal. It will help them bust those nasty no gooders.

I got one as well, but with a diff email addy listed....sent it to paypal and it was a scam!

**KrystallizedFlame** · 02-15-2006, 09:31 AM

You can also check out the email to see if its was created recently so you can tell.

profile.yahoo.com/"email name here" without the quotes in a new browser window.

This is what I get when I typed in profile.yahoo.com/dechukiat:

I did copy and paste this into an email to paypal. I didn't want to forward or reply or click on anything with this email.

**CHERNL** · 02-16-2006, 07:24 AM

Mine came from PayPaI, not PayPal, so I knew enough to just send it on to PayPal for them to deal with. I thought it looked funny...

**Dalejr8** · 02-18-2006, 03:52 PM

i get these atleast twice a week. I just delete them. It won't let me forward them. I get "cannot find server" when I forward.

**roofurd** · 02-21-2006, 01:35 PM

I get those all the time. Some that claim that they're from Ebay. If you get any of these forward them to [email protected] and [email protected] They'll e-mail you a confirmation that they received your forward and are looking into it and they give you tips on what to look out for in possible "phishing" e-mails.
