Someone can send you a fake “You’ve got money” that also has your Actual name on it!!!
The thief will firstly send you a “money request” to find out your PayPal name and then the theif will quickly cancel the money request because he now knows your name and then he will create a fake spoof email containing your “Actual Name” instead of “dear member” and then he will email it to you. and you’ll think its real because it has your name on it.
maby you guys already knows this but anyways wanted to help out.
im sure old members are aware of this but this is for new members.
