PayPal.me scam?

[kiml]

Looks like a scam ... haven't seen any traffic on it. Is it new? 

[local198]

there's nothing on the PayPal website?

but it looks like they tweeted about it

I find the fact that they created a new web site PayPal.me a bit disconcerting ... looks a lot like a phishing attack. But alas, it does come up as a secure PayPal US site and it seems to link back to PayPal itself ... so here's hoping I didn't just hand the keys to the kingdom to some scammer ...

When you say you hope you didn't give some scammers the key to the kingdom, please tell me what scammers you were speaking about. I just signed up for something that had me create this account, and I was thinking the exact same thing!!! Please let me know how it turned out, and if you regret making this decision.

Paypal.me is not a scam, thankfully. I have indeed created my own paypal.me link using the offical paypal site and tested it, it works perfect. Its pretty easy to make aswell
