Be Aware Of New PAYPAL Scam Flooded These Days on Internet

Discussion in 'PayPal' started by sagarrai000, Dec 15, 2010.

    Hello DPiers,

    I just logged into my email and I was shock to see that Paypal asked me for MONEY REQUEST. Well not to mention Paypal is way richer and it usually don't ask for Money request that too for $5 [too less]. Well later I just Googled it and found that someone is playing prank and making money.

    SO it is my duty to post on it here and avoid any such issues. PLEASE DON'T PAY EVEN A SINGLE PENNY TO THESE FRAUDS.

    I'm attaching the screenshot how it look likes


    [​IMG]


    Well you must see one thing on the screenshot is that the guy is havving @europe.com TLD but why will paypal use such. Instead it would have used @paypal.com

    And another thing is there no yearly nor monthly nor quartely charge taken by Paypal nor anything mentioned on Paypal blog so be AWARE and don't loose your hard earned money.


    Regards
    Erin

    There is another post about this, anyone who falls for this cheap trick deserves the loss of their $5.00. It doesn't have a @PayPal email and it is foolish for someone to think a large corporation would ask their customers to borrow money, and threaten account limitation for not lending the money. Especially a company known for freezing accounts whenever they please for as long as they please, why would they ask to borrow it when they so often just do it without asking anyway?

    I agree. If you have been doing business online, you would know better than fall for this stupid trick. Scams work because they are plenty of gullible people out there ready to believe in anything and part from their hard-earned money.
    I never send money to anyone unless I know the person or I am involved in a business transaction.

    Yes, be careful with these things but they often are easy to spot as being scams (like this one).
    However, don't bash that @europe.com guy too early because they seem to own several TLD's like that (asia.com, world.com etc.)
    And on world.com even is a scam warning (though not related to the current paypal scam of this thread) but it looks quite similar: world.com/scam.php
    Probably someone making fun of them or trying to ruin their reputation.

    Just think about it, would you like it if someone took your paypal email today and start sending out money requests to everyone? Surely you would get a few $ from some idiots but you'd definitely lose your account at the end of the day and half the world *thinks* you're some scamming a$$hole. Not nice!

    There is no way they can cashout this.... Paypal frezes accounts very fast if these guys doing something weired like that. They wasting there time for sure.
