Community Care Options Scam

[KBrunk]

My husband who on rare occasions uses our pay pal account received an email telling him that on September 30 Community Care was paid out of our account transaction #  with a different name. He wanted me to check in and see if in fact someone had our pay pal info. When I checked there was nothing on our account. Has anyone else had similar messages?

Hi KBrunk,

Welcome to the Community Forum!

I suspect your husband may have have received a non-genuine email, particularly as there was no payment on your account.

You will know an email is not from PayPal when:

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

Why don't you forward the email to spoof@paypal.com and we'll come back to you to confirm whether it's genuine or not?
