    I dont use Paypal after they shafted me on a fleebay sale when the buyer changed their mind,
    I did have a simular email saying id bought some softwarefrom a company in Canada and it was ready for download and that $240 was to be taken out of my account with the details i'd supplied 0.o
    The company had a ligit web page just the email was diferent so i did what Ova50 did and Foward the email to their spoof address.
    Scammers getting way to clever these days.have to be on the ball all the time.

    Thanks for the heads up Steve, You should get this msg on any PayPal email....

    How do I know this is not a fake email?
    Fake or 'phishing' emails tend to have generic greetings such as "Dear PayPal member". Emails from PayPal will always address you by your first and last name. It will also have the crime stoppers icon and number top left of the msg.

    All the emails I have ever gotten in the past three years claiming that I won the lottery or inherited bucket load of cash I have thrown into a folder called I'm Rich. One day I will count all that money just to see how rich I could have been if I replied to all those emails...I should really get around to replying to those such nice people with their good hearts offering to give away money.
