I received a suspicious email from someone saying that I had fraudulently billed them and they were going to take the case to the police, etc. It was from an email address (at)orange.fr. I have seen one other entry in this forum about a similar email. The email I received includecd a link to download a file, but of course I didn't click on the link, nor did I respond to the email. I'm sure it's a fraud, but now I have another problem. Anytime I try to forward it to "spoof@paypal.com", I get a reply saying that the email I sent them was stripped of all content. I even tried sending info about it from another email account from another provider, and I got the same thing! I tried it with and without the link to the attachment, and also just with general info about the phishing email, not forwarding the whole thing or doing a cut-and-paste of all the info. Has someone figured out how to hack email to strip it of content when it is sent to spoof(at)paypal.com? Or is the spoof reporting system just down? Did somebody hack THAT? BTW, the other string from another user who got a similar email had a note that the subject/problem had been solved. BALONEY! The phishing email I got had my REAL home address on it! How the heck did the phisher get my home address? AND, even though I have several email addresses, it came to the one email address that was associated with the PayPal account! This is new, and because the scammer has people's real home addresses, it is far more serious than just a general phishing scam. This has dangerous personal information about the potential victims! Please, PayPal, get on this and find out what the heck is going on!
