To keep reminding people of scams or those that just joined HC that aren't aware of past posts on this subject, I wanted to post this. I got another E-mail saying my paypal account had been charged $229 to some wholesale place. If I didn't authorize the charge to log on and report it. BUT without doing so, I clicked on that link and sure enough reading the address bar, it didn't show www.paypal but it showed www.paypaz or something of the sort.
So read the address bars before sending a reply. Also, my card info had expired at original paypal and I sent a copy of the e-mail to the real paypal site for investigation. Keep alert out there....read the address bars...this is how I first noticed the scam before I opened my original paypal account.......or they would have got me....The mail also looked exactly like the original paypal site.
I tend to believe that those certain people that seem to be in charge of most of our banking (without slamming anyone, I think we know who I mean) have been up to stealing our finances. And reroute our accounts. I have been 55 days in resolving a transaction between a bank to bank check that got lost in the USPost office mail....guess who I have to speak with! I even at times have to ask for an English speaking person so I can understand them....I think this is one reason some of us are getting hit in the finance mix ups...they route our funds to their accounts....why not....they are in charge of them...how convenient!......Keep alert all.....read your address bars before sending.
