I get them all the time. That is a scam trying to get your
paypal log on info. Put your mouse pointer over the URL to go
to and you will notice it is to a numerical address and not to
paypal.com. Look up the numerical address and it will probably
be some third world country. I see the same thing but
supposedly from ebay also.
That said, I have had problems with Pay-Pal
transactions, and so have people
who I know (one whose entire account was "stolen" to the tune of thousands
of dollars), and, in the end, after some hassle and some time, it was all
resolved "satisfactorily".
Just in:
Paypal just blasted me warning that "my" paypal account is closed!
What? Closing a pretend account? I don't open paypal with them, for
that reason of this idiocity. I still have this silly "scary" email
from paypal for anyone to check.
What I can tell is that:
The ebay seller is using paypal and I refused to deal with this so I
sent seller a payment in cash and accepted it because seller just
told me got the money and sent the item. (in this case an PCIII
Lunchbox).
