Scam.

Probably the person who gave you the refund trying to scam their cash back.

I imagine paypal would just go ahead and take the money back if this was real.

The only secure paypal account is a closed paypal account.

I got a similar email. I contacted PayPal about it, and they told me that it was a scam.

You haven't grasped the concept of "phishing" yet, have you.


I can fix this for you, but I'm going to need your account name and password, your social security number, and a valid credit card number with verification code.

If PayPal wants to take your money, they don't need to ask you.
