Reasons to prove this is Mass Phishing Mail!

Hi Guys,

Recently, we have fallen in another problem but still there is no official announcement but if we can think deeply here the some reasons proving that this is a phishing mail.

1. Most of the indian paypal accounts don't have credit cards, all they are verified by bank accounts only. But in this mail they clearly mentioned that you need to use credit card through paypal if you want make purchase.

Let us take one case., suppose we got some funds for services and later we need to buy something online, normally if we sufficient funds then it won't go for credit card, system uses paypal funds only.

2. Within 30 days we need to withdraw funds otherwise what will happens to these? And also this is against to 45 days dispute policy?

3. If there is no outgoing of funds from indian accounts there will be drastic loss to paypal itself.

If you go on there will many things like this proves this is phishing mail.

Anyway lets wait and see..whats going to happens...

Are you going to support my discussions?

Thanks..

Well without official words from PayPal and PayPal Policy changes we have to ignore such a mails which even not distributed to all PayPal users! I have two accounts both are 5 years old and I yet to see such a mails!

 

I have not received mail yet and all paypal function seems working smoothly for me...

People are reporting that they have pending bank transfer but I initiated one on 9th and it shows completed, I am expecting bank credit by Tuesday

 

even if we assume it is a phishing/genuine email, why it is that I have still not received this email ? I use Google Apps email account !

 

I also did not recieved any mail and this is good for all of us but we have to wait for any new official announcement from Paypal.

 

All gmail users did not get this mail. This mail reached only to yahoo and hotmail or other users.

However, Deluxdon one of Dp members confirms that he got a confirmation from Paypal that the email is legit and it is sent from Paypal.

Very worrying confirmation.

 

I use hotmail with Paypal and I haven't received any such mail.

 

I use hotmail, And i got the mail

 

i have 2 paypal accounts,i got mail on yahoo and i did not get mail on gmail?
Why like that?

 

I've got the mail but my withdrawal from 9th is still pending.

 

I use gmail. I didn't get this email. So, I think gmail is good in preventing spams.

 

I use AOL, and I didn't receive this email either.

 

May be due to weekend it was not processed, hope tomorow will it clear. Always try to withdraw between Mon-Thurs day.

Regarding this phishing mail only yahoo users got these..

 

Haha your second point hit the nail on the head , surely then this must be a phising mail , no need to worry then.

 

Have no problm at all with my withdrawing until now.

 

Well if you have got funds and you have to withdraw it within 30 days. Then what happens when someone initiates a chargeback?

The account goes in minus and it is limited.

Now as you cannot send or receive funds in paypal due to limited account your account balance will remain minus forever until you can fund it with your Bank or Credit card. [Where I read somewhere that funding your paypal from bank account is not possible]

Too much to think about.

 

same situation happened to me once, i canceled a credit card due to suspicious activity, card company canceled all genuine transaction too result ? paypal limuted my account i had to call them cleary tell them situation, and got enabled amount receipts to clear issue
