I just received two seperate emails that said........

(link removed)
Of course it is a phising email. DO NOT click the "cancel the order" button becasue it brings you to a fake Paypal sign in page........ Trying to scam paypal emails and passwords...

I always look at the webpage address. The Paypal address should be the first words and they should be in green to show it is a seure website!

Also always forward any of these scam emails to Paypal ---- spoof@paypal.com

That's only if you click on the link, and you don't want to do that. You have no idea what it downloaded onto your computer just by going to the page.
Just hover your cursor over the link and you will see it's not a PP link.

Dear ............
You have successfully made a payment of $ 92.37 to xxxxx E commerce DMCC with your PayPal Debit Mastercard.
This transaction was made using your PayPal account (my account.com) on 24/02/16 and the charge will appear on your account statement as a debit by: SKR*Skrill.com.
You have the legal right to LINK REMOVED through PayPal for 5 business days after the day you receive them.
Why would you post the actual scam link here???

Whenever I spot one of these fake emails and since I work from home and have a LOTS of SPARE TIME, I often engane in conversation with these scammers... I usually start with: "I tried clicking the link but nothing happens..."

I don`t have enough spare time to fool around with the scammers.
I get at least 20-30 scam emails everyday.

Warning their customers about what? I would hope people who use the internet would educate themselves about the online scams that abound. (but it seems nobody does)
I get scam mails daily claiming to be from Chase, BOA, Wells Fargo, Verizon, Comcast. My payment is due, my payment is overdue, my account has been hacked and they need to verify my information...thing is, I don't have an account with ANY of those companies. I get scam mails claiming to be from Amazon, Paypal, Sears...should these companies go through their databases and send daily warnings about being safe on the internet?
One would think the prudent thing to do would be take responsibility for knowing what you're doing on the internet. Know not to click on links. Know not to open emails that are clearly spam. Know what you are doing.
