Take care with paypai.com

    Hello guys,

    I opened this thread to warn you about phishing attempts from www.paypai.com.

    Take a closer look before you open any emails, and try to seel if the sender is PayPal.com or PayPaI.com.
    They send emails as PayPal does, but they try to trick you by using " i " with capital letters in the title.. just like PayPai -> PayPaI.

    I think I will report them.
    Untill then, take care about you PayPal accounts from these scammers.

    Thanks,
    hyper

    They just sent me 3 emails informing me something about my PayPal account.
    Once again, DO NOT OPEN the emails you receive from paypai.com. They try to trick everybody with the similarity between their domain name, and the original PayPal.

    Phishing is very effective, many ppl fall for it.

    They send 100000s of mails.

    suppose they send to 10,000 people, atleast 500 will fall and thats a lot u know

    Let the real PayPal know about this, they will certainly take some actions against that scam site!

    Thanks for the warning, If it is pointing to that domain name, perhaps you should try and find their host and or ISP. And send a nice email to them, explaining the situation.

    I don't ever respond to paypal emails, I just go to paypal's website from the url bar, and when I log in it'll tell me what's going on.

    Not so sure about 500, but I get your point. Phishing is a highly pointless industry that people use to make money. The people who have to steal to make their profits show that the only thing they are good at, is nothing at all.

    Also, why on Earth did you name yourself scammer?
