Hey Harry, Glad to see you're fine bro I got a Gmail Spam Quite recently ... I purposely took a screenshot while rolling over the links ... See the status bar ... Abhishek
theres way too much of these spam emails these days...the best is yahoo mail for filtering them...hotmail and gmail are behind
Is it me or spam is on the rise. A few months ago I hardly got any spam but now I get spam on my sites, blogs, directories, e-mails... there’s just no end to this crap.
thanks for the heads up, if i ever get that from paypal, i definately wont click the link, thanks again!
That`s not spam, it`s called phising. Sending fake emails to steal people`s email accounts, credit cards, money etc.
Hm...I have this kind of script : 1. Users login on a fake page 2. They are redirected to the paypal site(real one) meantime log details get sent by mail. I never used it, cos I have a good opinion about people and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't log in on another domain that claims to be paypal? Also you can't do anything, cos when someone accesses your account from another country and the account isn't business it gets blocked. But the person has time to send the money. If the owner of the account writes to paypal about that in less then 30 days guaranteed money to be received. Everytime paypal did their job and retrieved the money to the inocent people, so it's basically unworthy to get these cracked paypals, it's useful only for site/shops with Digital Delievery.
I see a lot of these paypal, eBay and banking emails. I always tell people never to click the link in the email, it doesnt take much to open a new browser and type the url in. Just think on how many people actually fall for these emails and login using the link.
there is another paypal one going around which the email says ========================================================== As part of our security measures, we regularly screen activity in the PayPal system. We recently noticed the following issue on your account: Unusual account activity has made it necessary to limit sensitive account features until additional verification information can be collected. We have been notified that a card associated with your account has been reported as lost or stolen, or that there were additional problems with your card and then gives you a link for you to enter your account details , to prove you have access to your card or whatever ======================================================= WARNING DO NOT ENTER YOUR DETAILS IN THE LINK BELOW !!!! http://3632735336:81/paypal/index.php?MfcISAPICommand=SignInFPP =======================================================
Here, my friend got one of these recently and who was living in the States. She came to Ireland and spent over $1000 using her Paypal Mastercard so when she got that email she thought it was from Paypal. Lucky that she remembered about me always barking to never click the links on emails so she ignored it and the week after I got one but I have zero funds in my account
I`m getting email with won contests, paypal, e-gold, ebay, yahoo and more, but i just delete them all
