Move along... Nothing to see here.

UPDATE: It's not a scam.

I'm an idiot.

...

I received the following email today:

Notice it's from "PayPal", in quotation marks.

What almost tricked me was that they had my real first and last name in the letter, which I have blacked out.

Don't be tricked by their sneakiness!

Don’t think it’s a scam. Everyone got this email.
It’s just letting you know about the notice, not asking you to sign in or anything.

In fact says to call the legit Paypal number if you have an error question or complain
as described by and covered in this “error notice”.

In order to be a scam they would need to get you to login on a fake page.
Short of doing that, there is no scam, just a notice.

Oops.

You're right!

I just tried to follow every link and none of them led anywhere nefarious.

It's the first time I've gotten an email from "PayPal".

Just imagine how many calls they get everytime they send out a notice! :smiley:

“Hey paypal, I noticed that I got a notice claiming to be from paypal, is it really you?”

One can never be too careful these days!

I sent mine to spoof. And got the normal automated reply

You sent the email to the correct department, and received an unsatisfactory answer.

I posted it on BLF and found out exactly what I wanted to know.

I feel better now.

Just don’t ever sign into your email

EDIT

LOL :wink:
