phishing email received but unable to forward to spoof@paypal.co.uk

[slider7788]

hi, i received an obvious paypal phishing email today (my first) and am advised in the help pages to forward said email to spoof@paypal.co.uk...

unfortunately, when i try to 'send' it, it's repeatedly rejected as being either spam or containing a virus

therefore, plus still wishing to alert paypal to the details of this phishing email, my only other option is to post a copy of it here hoping that it will thus be brought to the attention of paypal's legal department...

PS. i don't recommend clicking on any of the below contained links unless you are a paypal security officer protected by appropriate security containment measures!

PPS. in order to post this message i have had to remove the original senders mailto link attached to the service at paypal.co.uk link below in the 'from' box

the link it was addressed to is:  mailto:jessica-AT-darosinformatica.it

cheers...

Hi slider7788

Send to spoof@paypal.com

[ecurbledeux]

I also received this and could not send it to spoof@paypal.com as it wouldn't get pat my ISP's servers.

I have informed them and tried to copy/paste the email but it converts to "code" when pasted.

This is beyond me but I am curious about how it happens. I assume it is some sort of hidden code????

My ISP has told me to send it to paypal but don't seem to understand that I can't!

Hi Malrush

Forward to spoof@paypal.com

[kernowlass]

Have the same issue - will not forward email to spoof@paypal.co.uk or spoof@paypal.com.

The latter one is correct so not sure why it won't go through.

However i can confirm that it is a spoof and this is why >>>

You will know an email is not from PayPal when:

•The email uses a generic greeting like 'Dear user' or 'Hello, PayPal member’ or "Dear Customer".
•The email requests financial and other personal information.
•The email includes an attachment, a software update to install on your computer or asks you to click a link .

I give up my time to help you so a thank you or kudos would be cool.

Marking one of my replies as a solution would be appreciated if I sorted your problem.

Thanks thought it was but would be good to be able to forward to Paypal so they can investigate and aim to prevent .
