again for all the people that don't know.. PayPal will ALWAYS use your name when sending out emails so it would be like "Dear John Doe" they ALWAYS do it..

scammers, always trying to get our hard earned money. i always getting those annoying e-mail of uk lottery or business proposal, and you have to give all your personal contact and bank info. that's just ridiculous, but some people are still falling for it.

Scammers are funny. What happened to spell check?

Yes, i'm back, I haven't been on NP for a while.

Who in their right mind would even consider this anything other than a scam?

Some people are truly idiots. I mean come on, WHY would paypal give you $200 for filling in a survey?

You don't look at things like that?

Identification can be done running the mouse over the link, if it's a paypal link it's genuine otherwise SCAM.

Generally they are irrelevant links.

asianinvasion · 12-23-2007, 02:57 PM

lol.

First of all, e-mail addresses can easily be spoofed, so you're misleading people into believing that any e-mail address ending in @paypal.com is legitimate.

You honestly think I have time to waste on increasing my insignificant post count when I could be easily be earning money? I'll gladly show you screenshots of my affiliate and other accounts, can you?

Jerlene · 12-24-2007, 04:16 AM

Never once did I mention all emails from paypal.com are legitimate. I was simply bringing attention to the email address, letting them know that this should be looked at.

I don't care about anyone's finances but my own. I also don't boast about mine so no, I wouldn't provide you or anyone else screenshots. It's arrogant, juvenile and no one else's business but my own.
