Paypal users please beware of a scam Email regarding payments to Skype Inc. I have just received an Email supposedly from Paypal regarding payment for 3 months subscriptin to Skype Inc. The Email states that if you have not authorised this payment then please click on "cancel payment" button.
Please ignore this Email as I do not believe this is from Paypal as it does not state my name, ebay membership or Email address as the recipient - it simply welcomes the Paypal Client.
Also when I clicked on cancel payment it redirected me to another site which I immediately closed without entering any personal details.
I received this email today I knew it was a scam as I haven't got a Skype account and no money was missing out of my bank so changed all details n they can jog on
report this to pay pal by forwarding to spoof@paypal.co.uk. Also they ask for fullbank details including pin number and card number and number on the back so what does that tell you?
Just got one in a few minutes ago. Comes from the domain of webxc19s03.ad.aruba.it Most Antivirus programs will auto block the site so you can't even get to it which is good.
I just recieved the same scam email just 10 minutes ago - came on the paypal website in absolute panic! Thank you so much for posting the info on the forum.... And I agree, is there anyway this can be reported to paypal?
I got a series of emails on this - I ignored them then got one saying that the payment had been processed so I checked on Paypal and with my bank and clearly no money has gone to them.
I reported it by forwarding the email to spoof@paypal.com following the instructions on this site.
I've just received this scam e-mail too and started to go thru the steps to cancel the payment. When the form started to request Mother's maiden name, card security code etc. the penny dropped. It's clever and nearly had me! Beware.
