I have received this email purporting to have come from Paypal.At first it alarmed me because I have no knowledge of the transaction to which it refers. However, I noticed that it does not address me by name. When I checked my PP account the transaction does not appear. The alledged seller appears to be a genuine ebay Merchant. Is this a known scam?

Go compare with a real receipt you have had and you will see the difference, i suspect the "access the resolution centre" bit is a hyper link that they want you to click on and imput log in info so they can hijack your paypal account.

Hi Chriskinner,
I would recommend that change your password and security questions just to be on the safe side. There may be no cause for concern but I would recommend it anyway.
To change your password go to your Profile tab , click on "my details" and then click to change your password.
I hope this helps and thanks for posting
Paula
