Would Pay Pal have a yahoo email account?

Such as [email protected]

This is the email I just recieved -

Dear @**************.com.au,

During our regularly schedule account maintenance and verification we have detected a slight error in your billing information on file with PayPal.

Therefore your account has been temporarily suspended. We need you to confirm your identity in order to regain full privileges of your account.

To confirm your identity please follow the link below:



Looks like a scam to me.

That reminds of an email I got from an African guy stating that he has inherited $3 million from a distant relative from England (Not sure how he got my email address). He comes from a poor family in Nigeria and was looking for somebody in Australia to pay for initial legal fees to get the money cleared and into his bank account. He is asking me to tranfer 10k into his account and in return he will pay me
10 % which is 300k. Wow, what a deal. It's been 3 months now and still haven't heard anything. I am a touch concerned if I will see my 10k. He seemed like a really nice guy.

Just to be sure and to give paypal the heads up to chase the scammers wouldnt hurt to look up paypal true address and send them an email. If they get the word out to the rest off their customers its one less scam for people to fall for. I certainly appreciate a heads up.

i had one using the same old " paypal caper" just this morning.

Items sold succesfully did have someone trying it on, happened at work too.

If the item is for sale through the " breeze " is it worth a thread where we can do other sellers the service of listing the thieving scammers email address & phone that they are using ?

Something to cross reference instead of wasting any more correspondance with the scammers.
