In Reply to: Fraud phishing "PayPal" emails. posted by Hepcat on October 24, 2005 at 18:33:01:
if they say Dear ________ member rather than addressing you by your name or site name then it's a fraud, notice that real PayPal or eBay messages will always address you by your name.Also, if there are mis-spellings, it's a fraud - example, the last sentence: PayPal Rewiew Departament?!
