New Scam - received an email with completed receipt for products from Herbalife Australia purporting to be paid by me via PAYPAL but stock to be delivered to a person in Greensborough (and gives their full name and address).

The scam is the “Cancel” button to cancel PayPal transaction which actually is an address in NZ

Yes - exactly the same for me too.

 

The email lists two products that I apparently purchased, but with a name and address of someone else. And then follows with instructions on how to cancel the order ("you have a short window of time to cancel your order").

 

Obviously the scam is trying to get you to panic and hit the cancel button - thankfully I didn't!

I also received exactly the same email today,very official looking until you check the header address pretending to be from Herbalife.

I received one of these this morning but I also received a suspected scam from an organization called Landsend Australia about 2 weeks ago that is very similar. I first went to my Paypal account to check if monies had been removed. From there I suspected a scam and thus have ignored the emails.

Yes, i got this email over the weekend.  Thought it was a scam, so did not click on Cancel.  Quite authentic looking email though.
