I received an e-mail from "Paypal" saying that an iPod was being sent to someone in MI that I do not know?

Question

When I click on the "Dispute Payment" link, it took me to a page "advertising 'Paypal.'" Will I actually get billed for the iPOd?

Answer 1

Nooo! This is a phishing email. It's not PayPal.They want your personal or credit information, or worse, you'll end up dowloading a trojan or keylogger. I got the same kind from "PayPal" saying they were charging me over $2000 for electronic equipment being sent to someone in Minnesota. I was supposed to "decline" the payment by clicking on a link. No thanks! Funny, I don't even HAVE a PayPal account!

Answer 2

When you get an email from "Paypal" you should never click on the link in the email. You close your email and go into Paypal thru the Paypal site. There are so many people trying to get your info out there. When you click on Dispute Payment you probably have to log in your password info. That is a good way to give someone your info that should not have it. Most of these emails are scams. If you did give your password you need to go change it as soon as possible and make sure that all of your info is still correct.

Answer 3

This is probably one of those spoof's Paypal warns about. If they asked you to access the site and put in your password from the link they provided, then more than likely its a spoof to get your account information. Paypal never does this and will always ask you to go direct to the site to access your account. The best thing to do is call or email Paypal direct and attach a copy of that email you received asking them is it is legit. They will tell you if it is or not.I'd be willing to bet that this is a scam. If I were you, I would change your password immediately until you can figure out whats going on. They also do this will Ebay and AOL accounts, so becareful.

Answer 4

There is a simple way to check to see if an email you get that claims it's from PayPal or Ebay to see if it's really from them.





For Ebay users, you can forward the email to:



[e-mail]





For PayPal users, you can forward the email to:



[e-mail]





You will get a response within minutes as to whether or not the email was authentic.

Answer 5

you were scammed..you should not have answered your email..change your password immediately on paypal..if you can even get back to it..and try reading up on what is spam and what is not.

Now they have your password for Ebay..and paypal..and possibly your passwords for entry into your bank accounts..

Good luck ..it happened to me..they ripped me for over $1000.00 in my bank account..

Do not answer any emails from your email account,ebay always duplicates their emails to make sure your emails are authentic..

forward that email to "[e-mail]"..and you will get a reply from ebay explaining to you how to avoid such a mistake in the future..

I hope they didn't already steal your money...

If you can still get into your accounts ,change all your passwords immediately and notify paypal and ebay immediately.

Answer 6

Sounds like a phishing scheme. Forward the entire email (without comments or anything added) to the fraud department at paypal.

Answer 7

Be careful here. Don't give any one credit card or bank information regarding this over the Internet. Try to call PayPal. I hope not. If they do charge you, have your credit card company fight it--say you never placed an order for this merchandise.

Answer 8

If you put your password in there change it NOW! you got what paypal calls spoofed. If you still have the email forward it to [e-mail] You won't get charged for it someone is trying to get your password so they can get your account numbers.

Answer 9

You should not click on any link, usually there are many phishing e-mails that will tell there is something going on with bank accounts, ............., and then might copy your password and some sensitive information, what you should do is go www.paypal.com, then check your account activity, and if there should be any thing suspicious I think you should contact paypal.

good luck, badeel1

Answer 10

You have been "PHISHED" - no email billing that I know of is legal or enforceable. It is a tactic used by criminals to get you to interact with their phishing email, in order to either plant a virus on your computer or steal your identity.

Answer 11

Forward the email to [e-mail] or [e-mail] whichever company the fake email was pretending to be. I forward "spoof" emails to them when I get them. I would change your password & security questions, also.

Answer 12

Pay pal has a 1-800 number call them and explain to them the same thing you explain to us and they could help you more better

Answer 13

It was a scam. Just delete it. If you were stupid enough to enter any real info into whatever site you went to, you just gave that to a scammer. I suggest you close whatever account you gave away info to.

Answer 14

do NOT click on any links in the email. Also forward this email to

[e-mail]

Answer 15

Check the sender email address if it's from [e-mail]. You could pay for that. If it's not from Paypal.com then it's just another spam message.

Answer 16

It's SPAM....Do not login from the e mail !!!!! Go to PayPal and login from there and check your account.

Answer 17

That is spam and maybe phishing. Delete it and stay away from it.

Answer 18

Look at your account history, and if it's in there, you're getting billed for it.
