This says a lot about PayPal security.....I'm going there and delete my bank card ause at least from CC I can get my money back .
 
I was Heywood Jablome 🙂

Bumping for a reverse hot deal. One I won't have to reverse wuth the credit card compamy.

Can we do a PM woth the blue card too 🙂
 
Bump... For the most important post I have seen in a long time. I got this E-mail, & saved it to check out later. I sure am glad I didn't jump on it right away, but whenever people want to give money away, I am always leery.

Thanks again for the heads up!😀
 
if the "anandtech effect" can bring legitimate sites to their knees with traffic, the least we can do is bring this one down too 😉

Let's try to se if we can take this sucker down with this link
 
Is it down now? I get this when I try to go to their site:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/webscr.pl on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
 
Hrm good job guys, I think I got that email too! I don't remember though :/

All they wanted you to do was follow the link and login? I never click on links from email, I manually type the address in so I know which URL I am going to. Just a thought
 
Good job guys...now let's go after the BIGGEST scam - PayPal.com :Q


I must say that email is much more convincing than all of the previous PayPal-wannabe scams - I might even have thought it was real if I had received it, BUT...one thing I NEVER do is click a link from PayPal, c2it or similar sites...I always go to the site by manually typing in PayPal's URL - no way to be scammed by one of these con artists if you just do that one simple thing.
 
I think their hosting provider has used the axe on them! Hope I helped a bunch of people avoid these scam artists. I mean.. man.. it is the holidays.... the criminal(s) deserve coal and a pair of handcuffs in their stocking this year.
