Hi guys, I've received a fake email and have read through some of the posts and solutions already. I know it's fake but I wanted to find it if there's a way to report it to PayPal? To help prevent it from happening to people who are not aware that this isn't from them. Also whether anyone knew if this sort of thing can be reported on the police's website for cyber crimes (the actual name of it escapes me right now)?
Solved! Go to Solution.

You can report spoofs to spoof@paypal.com
If you have not actually been scammed then i don't think its worthwhile to report it to action fraud if that is what you meant?
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.

Thank you! Yes that what was I meant. I wasn't sure how it worked but I will just stick to forwarding the fake emails to the address you sent me. Many thanks.
