Help very mauch appreciated

prob a scam...they dont normally send emails where you have to click on a link and then validate your details

 

delete it mate.

once you enter in your details they rob your id and steal your cash. I "think" The hyper link in the email points to a IP address and not paypal.com

 

scam there was a thread about this a couple of days ago

 

had exact same one. bout 2 weeks ago.

only ever used paypaltwice so just ignored it

 

the link does direct you to the actual paypal site though

 

the link on this site will because its text copied from an email.

check the email itself and although the text might say http://www.paypal.com the link it points to is probably something like http://80.53.126.55 using a repleca of the paypal site.

Heres what I mean:

Click this link. It looks like passionford but its not http://www.newtechpirates.com/pfrip.html

 

no it doesnt!
But yea i know what you mean!

 

So,

I just delete it and forget about it yeah?????

Andy

 

yes!
