Ebay paypal scam? Today?

[itsmedunc]

I dont know if its coincidence (ebay is down in places) but I just received this an email from - [email protected]. Its basically saying check your paypal account via the message. Never had this before and I'm sure its a phishing scam. Seems a bit coincidental?

Better to be paranoid than sorry...

There are LOADS of on-going PayPal scams just now.

I will remain paranoid!

Just regard it as spam - or forward it to PayPal via eBay with your concerns. They go straight to my junk mail these days.

DO NOT DO IT!!!!!!!! I got an email early this year saying to check my recent transaction. Of course it showed that I had bought something I hadn't so I started 'making a complaint' then I though...hold on, why am I being asked some questions. contacted paypal and they said it was a scam.

Genuine Paypal emails start with your full name - anything else is crap tons of it, every feckin day Apple too & I've never been near any isite

Not had any for ages. Its not a bad time to send them out when ebay is down though...

I've had that email today too. Had my full name at the top which makes me wonder if something's been hacked somewhere...

Yup.. likewise.
Never bother looking when they say anyway!

I got the same mail but it had my full name (not the easiest on the planet ).
I went into it a different way, by googling PAINPal then accessing my account.
Don't use it anyway so I really don't know why I looked, but it confirmed nothing on it.
If "they" have scammed me, they will get sod all.
