Recent PayPal Scam​

Hi there Members!

I hope you're all well.

We got an email today from member Janice H. warning us of a PayPal scam she received yesterday. This is the information she provided us with:

I just want to warn everyone of a scam that I just received pretending to be from PayPal. Totally wicked people out there please inform others of this, I received the below message by text:

"#Paypal; You've sent 1500.00AUD to Mr. Paul Anderson Today at 10:17AM. If you didn't process. Reach us Immediately: +61-1800-411838 !!"

If you receive a text message that looks anything like the above please know it is a SCAM. You can tell by the '#Paypal' PayPal would never use a # before their name, also their PayPal (both Pay and Pal are capitalised). There is also incorrect grammar and no legitimate company would ever say "Reach us immediately" followed by their phone number and two exclamation marks.

Please be careful members and keep an eye out for these kinds of texts. A big thanks to member Janice H. for sharing this information with us!

I have received several emails from "PayPal" if I have any doubts about the transaction I contacted PayPal via email advising them about the payment, it’s a simple way to ensure that is not a scam. Also PayPal always address the email to the person name if it doesn't have Dear Bill Smith it’s a scam delete it.

Thank you for the heads up!

I have received several emails from supposedly Pay Pal asking me to up date my account details, as I don't have an account with them in the first place I just get rid of it, in the bin.

Just this moment ago had a call from supposedly Amazon saying someone was trying to buy an iPad from them using my account could I give them my number to check if they have the right person (they had my correct street address) I had my phone on speaker and my husband was listening too, that's when we hung up.

 

[Liz]

Again I say if only these people would put there talents to good not for extorting people. Thanks for the heads up about the PayPal one.

 

[saundy]

Hi Liz, That is the best thing to do, any thing that you are unsure of, the best thing to do is hang up.
If it is a company calling you they will call back,
If still unsure ask for the transaction details date and time of the purchase name of the person handling the transaction and sale.
You are also contact your bank or PayPal for details of the transaction and payment you can find them most helpful once you explain you position.
I hope this helps

Shortly after reading this on here I had an email from PayPal saying my account has been limited, please update it now. I don't have an account with them, so did as you suggested and forwarded it to [email protected] I got a reply about an hour later saying I should click on the Help line and enter my password for my account. Needless to say I didn't, I don't have one anyway.

PayPal always addresses you by name in any messages , first and last name , always

Send it to to Binance asap it's a scamer they may be available to track it and find out were it originally posted by

Here is a tip to remember:
You would never send the above to Binance, as it is a scam and the Binance contact provided will go back to the scammer thus verifying your identity, which is exactly what the scammer wants.
If you receive a message like this, you should never use the email or phone contact within that scam message.
What you should do is to open a new window and login to your PayPal account. When you are in your Pay Pal account, click on Activity (up near the top of the page) and it will show you what transactions are in your account. If nothing relating to Binance appears there you could send the original message you received to.....
[email protected]

Pay Pal have an investigative team who track these fake emails and messages and deal with them.
If we attempt to deal with these scammers, all we are doing is confirming our identity to the scammer and then he has a clear run at your information to use at a later date.
Never ever use the reply or forwarding address in the message or email you received........ always take the time to type in the [email protected] addess.

Hope this helps

For a two week period just recently I kept getting scam telephone calls about investing and buying e-coins. The calls were 'showing' as coming from the UK, Melbourne and Perth. About six to eight times a day and about four times of an evening and early morning. Instead of not answering I decided to answer as a fake company name. They would ask for me and I'd say he doesn't work here anymore. After three calls answered like that I haven't heard from them in over a week.
