eBay & PayPal spoof emails...

Will these things ever end?

I must get 3 or 4 a day asking or demanding I update my info or my account will be cancelled.

I used to go through the trouble of reporting them to eBay or PayPal, but it seems to do no good.

Now I started clicking on the links and filling in bullshit info just to screw with them. But that's starting to get boring.

Anyone else get these emails?

Bill

I get a ton of them. The latest are the ebay "fraud mediation reports." HA! I haven't bought shit on ebay in about 6 months, so I'm pretty sure nobody is reporting me for fraud. Fuckers. I feel bad for those dumb enough to fall for those phishing emails though. Just not bad enough NOT to call them stupid.

The carpenter that worked for me when I was remolding my house got hit really bad by an eBay scam.

He was a very good carpenter but not all that knowledgable about computers but did a lot of trading on eBay. This is the type of people that these fucks target. I felt really bad for him. It was in the tens of thousands of dollars he got taken for. I'm not sure if he was able to recover any of it.

Only bad thing about them is that yesterday I almost trashed one that said your paypal acct has been charged for - and when I looked it was a TGP submit acct that had closed down last year yet they were still trying to get money out of their partners

Wow! That's really horrible. They couldn't get that kind of money from me as I just don't have it - lol! I use ebay all the time, so I get the emails constantly, and I think ever since eBay and PayPal teamed up, I get allot more PayPal spoofs as well.

Wow, so technically that wasn't a spoof email, it was for real! Damn that sucks!
PayPal is usually good with getting your money back from stuff like that.
