This is a question from Jessica

 

"Hi, I'd just like to verify if this email address email address removed by Moderator is an actual paypal email address. The Iconix Email Identification does not say so! Plus, it called me as "Dear Customer". The most outrageous thing is, is that they threaten to fine me "2000GBP" if I don't send out my item which I have not received payment yet!!! Please help"

Hi there Jessica,

 

The fact that it says 'Dear Customer' would be the first warning flag for me if I received that email as you have. The second would be the fine theyt have threatened you with.

 

This is a fraudulent email and it would be great if you could forward it to spoof@paypal.com as we will try to stop this email being sent out.

I hope this information helps you
