This morning I received a mail from PaypaI that notifies me I had sent a payment of $137.38 to the seller. Was a wee bit embarrassed but did not believe the mail as my PayPal password is pretty much sophisticated and safe. Hence I checked my history section of my PayPal account and there was no such a transaction on the recent activity neither on all activity folders.
Then I realised that the mail address is PaypaI not PayPal and when I hovered on the refund request link, the address that was displayed was different with the one with the normal receipt. Furthermore the mail started with the greetings " Dear Customer" but the normal PayPal mail's usual greetings is " Hello Username". And the genuine one states the refund clause starts with : Issues with this transaction?" but the fake one as " Note: If you haven't authorized this transaction.." As ' haven't' is not a good grammar practice, I think the conman might work hard for the good command of English.
Yes it turned out to be a hoax mail by my analogy and via browsing my account but I suspect some people with not much carefulness might be the prey of these sort of clumsy fraudsters.
