Funny !! I Always Do And I Hope It Helps But I Stll Get Em!!!!

I Tell Everyone I Know Just If There Is A Question Just Delete Em And Log Into Your Paypal Account And Youll See Its All A Joke!!
 
I get PP and ebay spoofs regularly, stinkin' thieves!

Never, never , never follow a link in an email to PP or ebay, delete it and log in from your web browser, if its legitimate there will be a reminder on your actual account.

I can't believe people still fall for these spoofs but they must or the thieves wouldn't keep sending them.
 
Unfortunately Alot Of New Users Arent As Smart As Us And Follow The Email And Get Taken!!


Never Follow And Answer A Email From Ebay Or Paypal Directly Period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Youll Be Fine!!!!!!
 
There are thousands of these lowlifes sending millions of these spoofs out, so unfortunately, we have to keep forwarding them to Paypal so they can keep up with the newest slime out there.

One does not need to play the only game in town once the
game has proven itself to suck as bad as the paypal game
sucks.

Not playing the game at all is being smart
and protecting yourself.

Should start a thread for all the scams going on. My mother had her paypal account cleaned out recently. it wasnt for much but still im sure they get loads of money from some people.

Hello Ron,
Thank you for the reply.I am from Utah. The camera is going to be my son's birthday gift. I just want to give him this little surprise. He and the mom lives in Africa and i would love it mailed to them.

I will be paying you through paypal or Orionpay online money order. Its fast and very reliable. All it needs to deliver payment is your full name and address. I will be paying you a total of $840 to cover your cost price and shipping and insurance to Africa. using USPS.

Please get back to me as soon as you can.I will forward my
wife's residential address to you for shipping as soon as
the payment reaches you.I will be very grateful to hear from you soonest.

Warm regards,

David Anyaoha

Hi,

That sounds generous and fine.

I am not familiar with Orionpay, so I would prefer paypal. My payment address is paypal@okwinners.com

Coincidentally, I am also from Utah. Where are you from?

Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks and regards.

Ron

(I'm not from Utah - just wondered how he would handle that)

This afternoon, I got 2 emails from "The Paypal Team".

I can see people falling for this stuff. There's no telling how much stuff gets mailed to Nigeria or wherever.

Don't know what I will do with this from here. I guess I'll wait and see what my buddy David does next.

You assumed I seem to know another way to pay online securely.

I prefer bank wire transfer, or I
use USPS money orders or cashiers checks,
and Von Rhett will even
confirm that I sent him dead presidents.
All which were sent via
next day air envelopes.

These are the only methods of
payment I use regardless of me
buying or selling.
