Possible Scam Feb 11, 2013

Hi

check the exact e-mail adress of the sender and compare it with e-mail recieved from Paypal for transfers etc, you will find teh differences easly.

I get this type of e-mails frequantly and always just check the e-mail adress when it says paypal-com or something similar then its not the real PayPal.

never give your account detaisl to anyone, specialy not on random e-mails, and the only thing to do is imediatly change your password on your PayPal account... See more

Scam Feb 11, 2013

whenever I have a transaction through PayPal I get a similar message; somebody must have hacked into my connection to PP, although they cannot access my account.

You can read about this scam at our scam alert center and at the dedicated wiki page.

Please note the difference between https://www.paypal-com and https://www.paypal.com

This "-" instead of "." is the kind of small differences you will see in impersonating scammers.
