The Real Issue?

[Updated on Feb 12th]

Still, not a verified info ...

 

it is 90% a scam,... check the email headers,...

you can very well have the "from" header to
but when u hit reply, it will becomes something else... coz "reply-To" header is different,
(if it does it is a scam!; forward email to )

If you want then call up the PayPal or you can wait a couple of days and you can withdraw payment to your bank as the situation is improving.

 

first of all , even if you give the details they cant do anything (withdraw or mis-use is)..

You are only giving your account no , and not your netbanking passwords and all..

And if its from , then it cant be fake..

 

OK, so here is the full header of the mail I got :

Can anyone judge if it is real or fake ?

I am worried because its only me who has got this type of phone and mail, why not others ?

Edit : I have changed my real address just by typing "MY EMAIL ADDRESS:. Please, its for security reason.

 

I dont think its fake..

 

this is fake because paypal will greet you on your name, report this man

 

This Not Fake... This is from paypal if the mail was fake they will tell you to answer to another email id.

cheer's

 

why dont you just send mail to paypal itself from your account
I am sure that they will respond much faster ,SO that you can clear it out.

OK, so it may be real but I want to ask why this service only offered to me ? Why not others ? Should I initiate the process or wait for other members to get this type of call or mail ?

Anyone having idea of charges of wire transfer if I transfer $1000 to hdfc bank account ?

 

Maybe because you had a conversation over phone with them..neways go foward and send the details...

If it works then great , if not then there isnt any harm...You are only giving your account no..

 

Reply back a question and see if u get a reply looks fishy

 

you better ask paypal about this issue because they will great you on your first and last name

 

@cooolapts

Are you an ebay seller /buyer ? If so, check my post above (with that link etc), it is not a verified info, but just came when I searched in google.

Now it is more confusing ! I mean looking the header it looks like genuine !

 

I think it between 100-150 Rs irrespective of the amount.

 

Actually rates of wire transfer depends on the bank. At least that is the info I got after checking many bank sites. For SBI, they charge $20 for a wire transfer from USA to India - this is from my experience. I am not very sure who get that $20, may be sending bank or receiving bank ? Anyway it is irrespective of amount.

 

send a mail to paypal support and

 

sigh... all of you are doing so many tests whereas a simple test would have helped. that email address is genuine. i sent a blank email to it and it did not bounce back. if the email address was forged, it would have bounced back immediately

 

Not necessarily

Paypal can set a catch-all, they can set a 'blackhole', they can even set a mail rule to discard such email. Everything possible !

So it is still slightly confusing.

 

I accept your point that paypal can set a blackhole, what i was trying to state is that email is a part of paypal and not from some nigerian scams that forge email id's
