just wanted to give you guys a headsup on a PayPal scam i just was apart of.. i tracked the shipping address and the name/address didn't match first of all.. then sent the person a $ request AFTER they said they sent the funds and their email was not registered with paypal.... 2nd clue.
downloaded a program that shows icons of verified email address such as paypal, ebay, aol, etc.. it's called iconIX it's free... the logos/icons show up next to the verified email addresses
finally called paypal and asked and they said it was a scam. the paypal email "confirmation" said that funds were sent BUT will ONLY be transfered once a shipping tracking number has been confirmed...
if you get such emails forward them to SPOOF@paypal.com they will take care of the matter
here's the email i recieved:
"You've got new funds!

thats gay, but whatd u sell for 1900$?
Dang, that's messed up. So..I'm assuming that's just a fake ass e-mail they made up.?
yeah sounded fishy to begin with. i looked up his "sister"'s name and it was at a different address than he gave... the name was in some trailer park in NH... the address he gave came back to like 6 ppl... may be apartments though...
just got to be careful there's a lot of ppl out there trying to make a buck by F'n you over... noone wants to work for their money now-a-days
the email looked totally different than REAL paypal emails when $ is sent.. i deal with PP all the time so it was easy to catch but those of you who rarely use it may get fooled. just wanted to make a heads up because i hadnt' seen this scam before
i've got gold/diamond rings up for sale.
bling bling
Thats pretty gay. Thanks for the heads up! :clap:
good catch B.
Yeah, I know I've been nearly caught w/ some really good e-mails from "paypal" thanks for posting it up man. :thumbs:

michaelteparu@aim.com let's see who can put it on the most spam sites... sign it up for all the gay porn you can find lol
I'll sign it up for some! lol,. you know, someone could make some MAJOR moneyby making a site that you put in an e-mail and it basically ruins an e-mail addy by signing it up for so much spam.
lol hell yeah. i use to do that kind of shit when i was younger. i made some deltrees and junk that would delete all the major directory's and files then it'd reboot your computer to a blank screen =)

haha i called this mother fucker out and he wrote me back saying
" I never said the package will go to her house. I'm not stupid to give her home address to a unknown person. And I did well you're kind of obsessed maniac. I never said I'm located in NH. Your "investigation" is pathetic. And I think you didn't read the entire email from Paypal, that was your problem. I requested funds to be returned to me.
Blocked"
got an email from paypal too
"Dear donald jackson,
Thanks for taking an active role by reporting suspicious-looking emails.
The email you forwarded to us is a phishing email, and our security team
is working to disable it."
:rofl:
:owned: He knows it. You got called out. I tried calling that number last night but it didn't work.
Yes you can get, and are off topic here. This is an important subject, whore elsewhere.
