"Paypal" scam

[Fucky McFuckerson]

I got an e-mail saying that Paypal owes 4823 people "refunds"...and they gave me a link to sign in for "validation"...i think its a clone site to rip you off..so just be weary about it....plus the HTML codes were all fucked up in the e-mail...which means whomever is doing the cloning....sucks at it...

Heres what it looked like:

I never got that...
thanks for the heads up

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

Up...i want everyone to see this....

 

[AdolfOliverBush]

There's always scams like this going on. Any emails I get from Ebay or Paypal I just delete because 99% of them are just people trying to get your personal information.

Same with banks...

 

[cruzslug]

never send your information to anyone over the internet. Never share your personal information.

and also if your on craiglist watch out for the scammers... especially all the ones that start with:
Dear Seller,
Seller,

don't accept checks!!!

 

[28g w/o the bag]

enter in some phony bologne log in and see what it does...

if it "logs you in" after typing "t85tu505" in the username, and "045w8uo" in the password, then its a scam
