Just received a fraudulent Paypal money request

[Fabian Tan]

I just got a strange Paypal money request in my account (no phishing) of $180.00 for something I did not buy.

Here is the message:

Here is an invoice, I hope you get it and it works OK.

Six 12 inch aluminum letters (L, A, N, C, H and E) $120.00
Shipping 60.00

Please let me know if there is a problem.

I canceled it immediately. Now, I can't see anything that stops this guy from repeatedly sending me requests for money. I will contact Paypal about this the next time he does it.

Anyone get this before?

Just tell the sender that he got the wrong person, I never receive such an email.

Well, some people are acting strange recently.

Some one mass email-ed all the marketers in the Internet marketing niche for example the other day.

The economy makes some people do strange things.

I'll see what Paypal has to say about this.

I received exactly the same invoice about five months ago.

I have no idea who sent it because the invoice came on a noreply@ address, nor did the @xxxxxxxxx.com lead me to a company with a website of that ilk. There was no invoice attached to the email, either.

I reported the email as a phishing scam and have heard nothing since.

i never heard from them again though

Thank you for sharing this, I receive such email about a month ago and had report to paypal. As long as my paypal account is not being debit wrongly,i still think that paypal is safe.

I think no need to worry about this kind of peoples. Just ignore those kind of messages. I believe Paypal system is very much secured, so no one can just loot our hard earned money.
