I just got an "Official Notification From PayPal"  Never mind, I just reported them to PayPal, I don't want to deal with this...
Apparently I bought something with my PayPal account that doesn't even exist

That will take you to a site that looks like Paypal but isn't |

They are counting on that you will get worried, click to get the refund. This takes you to a fake phishing page where they steal your username and password.
Just forward it to [email protected] and they'll take it from there. |

I have been getting a couple of these each week. They seem to go in spurts. |

I wish I could buy something and have the sales tax reduce the amount that I pay! |

I just got one from US Bank about my account. That is some pretty awful security they have if I don't have an account there and its already been compromised
is it even worth reporting it to anyone? |
