Transaction Information

[ALegitGnome]

Hi Everyone,

Im a bit skeptical, am I getting scammed  or is this a glitch? I sold something on ebay, and the buyer claims to have sent the money, and I recieved an email from a third party recipient. "ecommerce" or something like that, the email's thumbnail had paypal and an invoice of his "purchase". There is no such history of any transaction in my paypal inventory. What's going on?

Sounds a bit shaky as that's not how things work.   It's most likely a spoof, here's what you need to do:

* Forward the entire email to:    spoof@paypal.com.
* Do not alter the subject line or forward the message as an attachment.
* Delete the suspicious email from your inbox.
* Never click on any links within the email or open any attachments.
