Paypal!!

anyone receive that fake paypal message saying that your account has had unusual activity and then has a link to a website asking for account information? I bet there are hundreds of people falling for it and getting ripped off! It really looks legit to the average surfer.

I get Paypal emails all the time, plus Suntrust, CitiBank and Bank of America. I just delete them. If my bank has something to tell me, they have my phone number and my home address.

thats what I think too.
I got one from my bank a week ago saying I had like $4827 (some off number like that anyways) in unclaimed something or another and they just needed to confirm things like my creditcard number, and banking info.
I jsut laughed, but knew that someone was going to fall for it, kinda sad.

I got one from Bank of Omaha the other day. Too bad I live in Canda. Freakin' morons! Then I'd thought I'd be nice and e-mail Bank of Omaha and let them know. Just to get in touch with these people, you have to send them you telephone number and they will call you within 24 hours. What a joke!!!

There are numerous scammers for this activity where they ask you for your SS# PIN # ... yeah. I've actually called Citi Bank & they said "delete it" we know.

Sounds like the one that PayPal employee perpetrated a couple years back. Amazing that people still fall for that crap.

I gave them my username, password, and bank account info. I checked it earlier and they had deposited $1000. Damn hackers!
