Email from [email protected] but the PayPal part had a funky L in it. Stated that a transaction was made and money will be deducted from my bank account. Advises if I didn’t make this transaction to click a cancellation link. It’s a definite phishing email.

Received an e-mail purporting to be from Paypal with an attachment titled "Custemer.Supporte.PDF" and "Please open the attachment and complete the steps." in the body of the e-mail. This meets some of the criteria pointed out by the BBB website as a potential scam..."Look for mispellings." and "The e-mails will be very general when they should contain your name or other identifying info."

A few weeks ago I received what looked like an email from [email protected]. When I opened it, it looked like a purchase confirmation email with a link to "cancel now" at the top. I of course did not make that purchase, so I clicked the link to cancel, logged into my PayPal through the link, but then it asked me for a bunch of info including my social security number. I know I've never given that to PayPal, so they would have no way of verifying it. I contacted PayPal and confirmed they had no such transaction and changed my password immediately. When I went back to check the email to see what other info there was, it was gone. I have received a similar email today and would like to report it. I have attached the initial screen shot of the email. I also took a screen shot of the email in its entirety if you should need it.

E-mail said I had made a purchase through PayPal for Netflix. It said to click on a link to cancel the transaction if I had not authorized this transaction. I had not made a purchase and I checked PayPal directly (not through the link in the e-mail), there has been no activity.

This is an email I received twice over the course of the past two weeks.

When I click on the provided link, it asks me for my Outlook password, followed by all my personal information (name, address, phone no., DOB, mother's maiden name, SIN). Then it asks for my credit card number, expiry date, verification code. I gave fictitious passwords and names and the system accepts them.

I was phoned by 'Paypal' today and they were allegedly following up on a collection attached to my account. I have no debt with them, and I closed my account in October 2015. To verify my identity, she asked me about email addresses attached to the account. And she asked me to verify the address on the account . I supplied her with two old addresses, and verified the zip code on the second one. She said some other email was attached to the account that I didn't recognize and she recited the last 4 digits of the social, which I noted was not mine.
