I've used both spoof@paypal.com and spoof@paypal.co.uk but they no longer work - what's the new email I can forward spoofing emails from fake sources for Paypal?
Thanks

They do work, just tested it myself.
And got back this reply so it must work >>>
Thanks for forwarding us the email you received. We'll investigate it
and get back to you if we need more information.
If you've clicked on a link in a suspicious email and typed in your
password, you should log in to your PayPal account and change your
password and security questions straight away.
If a payment was sent from your account without your permission, go to
(link deleted) and report it to us.
Thanks,
PayPal

I have the same problem albeit some weewks later than the OP.
I have received a fishing email and tried to send it to the recommended addresss 'spoof@paypal.co.uk'
and the system bounces it back.

Hi DIGLS,
Thanks for posting.
The email Spoof@PayPal.co.uk should work but you can use Spoof@PayPal.com or Review@PayPal.com to forward on these emails. I know some email providers are sensitive to the word spoof so the review email might work better.
I hope this helps.

When you just send test emails the two 'spoof' addresses work.
But when you try forwarding anything they DO NOT.
In my case when I tried forwarding the spoof email it alerted the original dodgy email sender and I got another dodgy email from them which in the general confusion very nearly fooled me ...PHEW!
I have alerted PayPal but the more the merrier.
Has anyone else found that PayPal's attitude has become a bit shoddy of late??
