I've been getting those stupid scam emails for years, where they tell you to update your security info. I hope EVERYBODY knows those are a scam and NEVER click through. The proper response is to forward them to SPOOF@PAYPAL.COM, then delete the message without going to the site. Now there's a new one--at least this is the first time I've gotten one. This time they tell you that you've added a new email address and they want you to confirm. Again, the answer is to forward to SPOOF@PAYPAL.COM without clicking through or going to that site, then delete the email. If you have any concerns about your account, go straight to PayPal the way you always do. NEVER follow an email link to get there. These people are really good at what they do, and what they do is steal account passwords from unsuspecting members. I know most of you are aware of these scams, but I've read several posts from younger members, talking about applying for a PayPal account. Unfortunately, most people don't read the warnings until it's too late. Rest assured that none of this compromises PayPal security. Your PayPal account is safe unless YOU fall for one of these scams. PayPal will NEVER ask for your password in an email or give out that info to anyone else. Suz

I've been getting lots of those kind of emails too, and ones from ebay as well, but I don't even have account there, so that doesn't make much sense to me. I think they must be scam and hope that I just have an account and give my information away. If I do click through on an accident, does that mean they have my information so they can steal my account if I have one? I didn't know places could do that. But you are right, these people are probably all really good at what they do, and it is easy to be fooled now. I hope that they get caught before someone is fooled by them and loses a lot.

I don't know the answer to that, so I don't take any chances. All I do is forward and delete. eBay works the same way. Send to SPOOF@EBAY.COM and delete. It doesn't matter if you have an eBay account or not. You'll be doing your part by turning the creeps in. Suz

Ive had this email and other that you havent mentioned. (Well my dad has im not wuite old enough to use paypal lol) He had the one you are describing about a month ago. He also hs another about a week ago telling him his acount on Ebay was to be shut down permenantly unless he filled in an online form that asked him for the password and his username. Please be aware of these scams. There are very clever evil people out there that will do anything to scam the law aboding people like you and I. Dont be a victim!

Just remeber that PayPal and Ebay always address you by your first and last name, so if an email says: "Dear PayPal member," Or "Dear eBay customer", don't even bother with it, and report it to spoof@paypal.com/ebay.com

the problem is why the scams got our paypal Email. that' coz we should give it to the world so that we could receive money,(as a webmaster) how solve the problem,i suggested paypal should not use "email" (the real paypal owner) as a paypal account but use "ID" as a paypal account, then everyone could receive or transfer the money to other paypal with their paypal "ID". do you know what i'm meaning?

Always remember to check the domain of the email address that claims to be from paypal. Of course I don't use Paypal now, so I just delete anything that has Paypal in the title or report for phishing. But it's actually quite easy to tell whether it's a scam or not. It just takes a little bit more time to take a look at the email add.
