Cate in NZ Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I'd only been catching up with this thread yesterday after a few forum free days and it seemed such a coicidence that I received this spoof email today. PayPal Resolution Center: Your account is limited. (Your case ID for this reason is -0064310.) PayPal is constantly working to ensure security by regularly screening the accounts in our system. We recently reviewed your account, and we need more information to help us provide you with secure service. Until we can collect this information, your access to sensitive account features will be limited. We would like to restore your access as soon as possible, and we apologize for the inconvenience. This is done for your protection only you, the recipient of this email can take the next step in the remove limitation process. Why is my account access limited? June 21, 2007: We have reason to believe that your account was accessed by a third party. Because protecting the security of your account is our primary concern, we have limited access to sensitive PayPal account features. We understand that this may be an inconvenience but please understand that this temporary limitation is for your protection. (Your case ID for this reason is -0064310.) How can I restore my account access? Please scan the following documents, attach them to your email and forward them to security@paypalfraudchecking.com - Your credit/debit card statement or utility bill ( example: Phone Bill, Electric Bill, etc....) - A valid photo ID (example: Passport, Drivers License, etc...) Completing all of the checklist items will automatically restore your account access. Thank you for using PayPal! The PayPal an eBay Company ------------------------------------- Cheeky so & so's want all kinds of id sending to them as well I know it's got to be a spoof, even without reading all your wonderful advice, because I don't even have a paypal account It could sound a bit worrying though to someone a little gullible, I do hope that no one falls for it. Edit, I just saw my posting on the forum and their case id codes (which I didn't bother editing, it's all bogus anyway, started with the letters P and P........... the very sensible forum read that and substituted a lovely instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I wondered what had to do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina C Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 Gosh thats a really blatant attempt - hope no-one gets pulled in by it. Worth sending it to Paypal (via the genuine site's contact us page) so they can add it to the ones they are investigating - its to all our benefit that these things get investigated and stopped.
