PayPal spoof email warning

I think we ALL have been getting these PayPal EMs for several yrs.

Neither paypal, nor ebay, will ever send out an email asking to update your account. It's a scam every time.

I used to get them a lot myself, but I haven't had one in quite some time. Apparently the OP has never seen this scam, so props to him for letting anybody else know. I would rather see an over kill of threads like this than to see someone's account hijacked and ripped off.

I'm aware that the emails are a scam and I made sure to forward a copy to PayPal in case it actually does any good. Since I got one this morning I wanted to give everyone a head's up just in case anyone that reads this isn't aware they are scam emails. There seem to be a lot of new users and I'd hate to see anyone get ripped off because they didn't know.

You mean those are a spoof?!!! Now all of a sudden I'm questioning why last week I wired $10,000 to the son of a deposed Nigerian politician, who said he needed the money to pay the banking fees to transfer $100 Million out of country. He said I'd get 5% !!!!!!!!!

I don't get as many as I once did, as well. I send all these to; spoof@ebay.com, spoof@paypal.com
