Peter Miller Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I have just had the second email scam of its type. You get an email supposedly from Paypal informing you of a receipt for something that you have just bought. My first was a payment to Amazon for a camera at about 46 pounds. Todays was for a payment for three months subscription to Skype. At the bottom it said that if you did not make this payment go to paypal and open a dispute and there is a link at the bottom. Apart from the fact that I buy direct from Amazon, not via Paypal and I am pretty sure that Skype is free. I noticed at least one spelling mistake in the email. I have forwarded both of them to Spoof@Paypal.com Anyone else had these? Edited By Peter Miller on 07/06/2012 11:23:13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Randall Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 A friend got an email from the Santander Costumer Support department. She's going to ask them for a job, as she fancies playing dressing up all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOB GADD Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hi Ken. I doubt if there is any left in the pot as I 'WON' over 300 million about two years ago. Just deleated two more one from Santander and another from Talk Talk. I get about six every day, some from some of Gods Desciples saying that have Cancer and wanting to get rid of their wealth by giving it to deserving people, then even some from American service personel in Iraq saying they have 'Found' a load of money and want someone to help them to help ship the money to the States for a small cash payment for helping. If I had done all this then I would be a 'Multi, Multi Millionaire' by now . BOB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
