Is this email dodgy?

[~Trish~]

It's a definite fake. Any genuine emails from Paypal or eBay will have your name in the title, anything that says "Dear PayPal member" or "Dear eBay member" is a red flag so definitely don't click on any links. If you're ever unsure about a PayPal email you can forward it to s****@paypal.com.au and they will reply back to you pretty quickly letting you know if it is fake or not.

HTH

ETA the email address I gave you has been sensored. It should be s p o o f @ paypal.com.au (without the spaces of course )

[meow]

What's wrong with the word s p o o f?

[Phteven]

It's a sp00f. Fwd it to s****@paypal.com.au

[~Trish~]

Ren - If you take the "s" from the word it spells a kind of offensive word

[meow]

But it had an s on it? That's weird censorship...

And I agree with the others- I think it's a dodgy email.

Ren sp00f is also a derogatory term for semen

[Bathsheba]

Definitely a scam. We got one too. Trish is right, they would have used your name. If ever in doubt go to the actual site and see if they are asking you to do the same thing.

Oh... seems I'm learning all sorts of new uses for words today...

[Indadhanu]

lol ren tell me about it... beaver... sp00f.... i must have lived a sheltered life!!!!!!

[visitor1]

Or the sp00f bit...take off the S and you get another term for gay man.

[Indadhanu]

Ooooooooooohhhhhhhh!!!! I get why the 's' was taken off now...
Yep, I'm quick on the uptake today!!!

How did it go Rachel? Was it dodgy as suspected?

i wouldnt even click on the link. I got a dodgy email apparently from Ebay and by clicking on the link you can allow the scammers to drop software or something similar onto your comp which can then pick up your keystrokes. Best thing to do if ever unsure is send it to ebay/paypal and wait for them to confirm its ok.
these people are the pits
