Re: Examples of Suspected Fraud or Fake Emails

    However...when I'd gotten that fake email that first time, I fell for it, and had logged on at the given website address. I'd not known that very first time. But, as I'd spotted that email in my inbox...I'd then knew that it was a fake email! This time, I'd not taken any action, and I'm glad I didn't!   But, I'd like to speak more about these so-called scam artists. I've read the other posts...and it had inspired me to want to go on ahead, and do another post on this topic.   I feel that this is a very serious issue...and, should be addressed thouroghly.   These scam artists...are very sneaky people. They are really slick...that's if the the person that's being scammed is not aware that they are being scammed. If the person that's being scammed is gullible, they will automatically fall for it!  If the victom  puts too much trust in fake emails...they will believe in them! Also, if the victom is not able to identify when they are being scammed...then, that's when things get scary! Scam artists are up to no good! They have absolutely no remorse for what they are doing...whatsoever! They have no care about the person that they are scamming! Evidently, they get off on it! They don't care! If scam artists can get away with scamming people...they will do it! If they are given any amount of leverage...they will do it!   It doesn't matter who any of us are...scam artists will scam anybody! And, also...they are stupid! There are some scam artists who are really dumb, as well. We just need to be cautious and not to stoop to their level! We have to recognize them, and stop them in their track!  Scam artists can also be extremely obvious! You can sometimes determine a fake email! But, when receiving the fake email for the very first time, the victom's not going to know...until they learn that is a fake email. Then, when the issue occurs the next time, the victom will know and be on their gaurd.   Another thing, scam artists are stupid! They seem willing to risk getting caught, for some reason, ha-ha! I mean...surely, these folk know that sooner or later they'll  get caught! But, they're willing to risk it, anyway...right? Of course. They'll try again. And, maybe they'll get by with it, next time. NOT!!! Idiots!    Com'on...where's your common sense? Don't you scam artists know that you don't do wrong and get way with it? You can only get away with scamming for so long...then, eventually they'll get stopped! The bad will be dealt with...so, the scam artists will most definately be dealt with. So, don't worry, there will be some justice...here! Whoever these people are...they will not get away with this! They will not go unpunished, I promise!   These scam artists will only get away with these scams for only a while...but, pretty soon, they will get caught!! ... View more

I've just received a suspisious email which had spoke about a notification of a new payment received. Now, I just know that I've not received any new payment! So, therefore...it had to be a fake! I don't know who the scam artist is...but, whoever the person is...they are really dirty! Just what are scam artists trying to gain by pulling these wicked stunts?! Just what are they trying to accomplish by trying scam people like they are doing? And, why would they even have the gull to do it? Do scam artists do it because they can do it? Do scam artists really get by with it? Is there money involved in them scamming us?   I just wonder how much scam artists make by creating all these scams! Just what do they get out of it, anyway? Does sending fake emails make them feel good? Do they get off on it....or what?! Have they no remorse for what they do? I guess they just do it...just to do it, huh! I just don't have a single care about what they are doing to us....tryin' to get into our accounts, and get access to our personal infomation...how dare they!!   I might had been gullible enough to have fallen for that fake email the first time...but, to fall for it twice?! No way! Just what do these scam artists think they're tryin' to pull?! Do they really think they're that sneaky? Haven't they got a much better job to do...rather than send fake emails...and, try to get peoples' personal info, and password? I guess not!   It's really sad...that they try to do this. I take it that these folk are really unhappy people who tend to wrip people off...simply becasue they just don't have anything better and worth while t do with their lives! I pity them, a great deal. ... View more

I've sent an invoice for the amount of $700, but it was denied. I just wonder...was I asking too large on an amount...or what?Could there be a limit as to how much money us PayPal customers are to request? If so, what is that limit? Excel Media just isn't any help at all! They've never  responded to my invoice! I wonder why? Was there a problem with my request? Was I requesting too much money? I wonder if there is another way to reach Excel Media...and find out why it had taken so long for them to respond to my request. Maybe there was something wrong with my request. I've probably asked too much. I wonder if there's a phone number to Excel Media, other than their email address.   Another thing...has all the other PayPal users had this same issue? Am I the only one whose had this issue? Am I being singled out...out of all the PayPal users? Cause, so far...I've not had any money in my PayPal account ever since I've had it! Why haven't my money requests been granted? I'd like to know!  ... View more

Just the other day, I was on the PayPal website..and, thinking that I was requesting money, I'd sent money of $900 to Excel Media, twice! Again, like I've said, I'd thought that I was asking for money! I'd not quite understood how the system worked...I was a little confused for a while. First, I'd just requested money of $900. Then, the third time, I'd sent an invoice asking for the same amount. Now, there wasn't anything in my bank account, I'd thought that money would get deposited into my account! But, instead, I'd ened up sending an echeck...for money that wasn't even in the account! (I know it sounds rather idiotic, but it's true!)   An invoice is when you request money...and then you sign an invoice for Excel Media to pay the person that's requesting the money. Then, Excel Media deposits the money into the customer's PayPal account. (Now...I "hope", I've gotten that right!) The invoice is totally seperate from the echeck issue!  So, therefore, hopefully...the invoice will be granted. I sure hope no one thinks I'm a dumb-dumb...for doing what I did! Again, I'dnot been clear on what I was doing! I promise...I've not been under any influence of any drugs...or any alcohol. And, by the way...I'm not "MENTALLY RETARDED", in case that's what you're thinking! It was just an honest misunderstanding...that's all! After all, we all make mistakes, right?!  ... View more
