Hello, 

 

I've just received email from service @ paypal.com I'm not sure but "l" letter is maybe uppercase of "i" in paypal.com . Email says "Unusual Activity On Your PayPaI and Update your credit card information." When I click to link it goes to

"accountservice-center.cf/".

 

Is this email comes from paypal or is it fake?

@cankolcuoglu Well it does work as I am always using it but you are posting on the UK forum and it only works for folks in the UK. But PayPal never asks you to click on a link in an email to enter log in or financial info. They would tell you to log into your account and go to the resolution centre.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.

But I never done this order, then I went to my account page (didn't use the link in the email)

and there's nothimg in my account.

 

So should I just ignore this email?

and does this mean the security of paypal has some problem?

 

Thank you

But I didn't place this order, then I went to my account page, nothing there.

I keep recieving e-mails saying that I have had differant activity on my pay pal account. I know that these e-mails are all fake, as I have not used paypal in 12-13 years!. Recently I have been recieving e-mails about goods(?) that I have paid for through Paypal, all news to me. Has somebody come across a whole load of old e-mail accounts through Paypal, and are chancing themselves to make some money?

I have had to go through again the long and complicated business of restarting my account with Paypal, so that I cam keep ahead of these rotten people. Is there a e-mail that I can send the nasty e-mails onto?
