Hello, I just got the same fraud, right down to the same dollar amount. I emailed the original sender to tell her that any further bogus emails would be reported to our police. mike

I live in  Canada When i went to The Resolve it now button Thank Heavens my security system blocked me from going any furhter I also contacted PayPal online and no charges are there. I will now report it to them . I see many comments from earlier on and I would have thought PayPal would have been able to put a stop to this sort of thing

Hi J-B-W,

 

Welcome to the PayPal Community Forum! I apologize if this fake email caused any concern. As previously mentioned by @kernowlass, please send any communication that you think may be fake to spoof@paypal.com. If the communication is fake, we will work on having the website removed so they are unable to scam others.
