New scam on the internet????


I think I have experienced a new scam thru the email today, so I would like to warn you all.

The email is posted as a invoice from Paypal ([email protected]) indicating that a transaction has gone thru with an individual in the amount of $300. It looks like a real thing with all the detail on it. At the bottom of the invoice, there is a "DISPUTE TRANSACTION" button.

I thought my Paypal account may have been hecked so I click on that button and it brings me to the Paypal log-on screen asking for password. A thought came to my mind. I opened a new windows and go to the Paypal site directly and lon-on from there. I didn't see the "NEW" transaction. OK. Case closed.

Someone just try to steal your Paypal password if you log-on thru their link.

So beware!!!

I received a similar email asking me to agree to pay $189.00 for a Rolex watch (what a deal!) or, failing to agree, provide the "necessary info." to allow for dispute resolution. It did indeed appear to be "offical." I cancelled my Paypal account at that point. Imagine the time and inconvenience to dispute charges to your Paypal account. I now send money orders or, if the item (usually lps) is not too costly, concealed cash.
