Scam Alert!

Something EVERY Paypal user should know



A common scam with Paypal is stealing of money through hacked accounts. Many passwords are stolen through misleading Email messages. We received this scam around 7PM on the evening of 9/11/2002.



THIS WAS NOT SENT BY PAYPAL! Do not follow the instructions! By clicking on the link and following the instructions, you will actually be giving away your password to a thief! This thief actually registered the domain in the name of Confinity, Inc. (a Paypal affiliated company). However, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PAYPAL!



I highly doubt Paypal would EVER send out an Email such as this. Do not be fooled!







Here is the who-is on the domain you\'re actually clicking over to, for those of you who are interested:

Confinity, Inc (PAYPAL2-DOM)

Domain servers in listed order:



NS1.EARTHLINK.NET 207.217.126.41

NS2.EARTHLINK.NET 207.217.77.42

DNS1.EARTHLINK.NET 207.217.126.11



Register your domain name at http://www.register.com



Notice anything? The scammer wants you to believe it is really Paypal. The name servers give it away. Paypal does not use Earthlink.net.

Mmh. Okay... Nov 29, 2002

That\'s very interesting. Thanks.



Could you perhaps supply the wording of the email?

Was the site linked to in the mail then http://www.paypal.com?



Paypal instructs us to make sure there is an \'s\' in the URL: https://www.paypal.com to make sure it\'s the secure site.

Wouldn\'t it be enough to look... See more

Wouldn\'t it be enough to look out for that?



A propos: er der nogen der har haft dårlige oplevelser med Paypal? Er det bedre eller dårligere end Eurogiro?
