Just recieved an e-mail saying my paypal details require updating? Im being very wary and as yet have not responded. Has anyone else recieved such an e-mail? What do you think.

Do Not Respond!!!!!

Its A Scam

Paypal Will Only Contact You By Your User Name.

Do Not Give Your Details.

These E-mails Are Scammers, As Are The Ones You Get To Give Your Ebay Details.

Ignore it mate. Theres a lot of scams like this going on at the moment, just be wary of anything wanting your personal details. Paypal, ebay, Nochex etc are all being used.

Before you write it off as a scam, go to the Paypal site, and check your personal details there. Check the expiry date on the credit card you have registered with them. If all seems correct, ignore it. Dont reply to the e-mail, go directly to Paypal.

Copy and paste or even forward the email to paypal for verification. They will let you know, if it is real or a scam, within 48 hours.

I had a scammer place the high bid on my nephews motorbike on eBay. The cheeky git wanted to send me a cheque for £5000, which he couldn't get cleared in Singapore. For me to clear it through my bank deduct the £771 for the bike and return him the remainder. I reported it to eBay cos I was just a little wary and he was unregistered within the hour.

(un)Luckily I found out the hard way years ago that a cheque can clear, you draw on it and then it can bounce, leaving you high and dry.

A mate let his Harley go because he had a building society cheque in his hand and they are "safe as houses." Turned out it was one of a book of blank cheques that were stolen. He never saw his Harley again. There are some real scumbags out there.

People try and scam me on eBay with that cheque thing all the time - had 3 people kicked out so far. A waste or everyones time and money! so annoying.
As mentioned forward it to PayPal/EBAY or whoever and they will let you know.

Thanks guys, havent replied but have reported them to paypal. Scumbags.

When I get these I forward them to "spoof @ ebay.com" or "spoof @ paypal.com" depending on which one is being scammed.

As reported go directly to the website, and ignore the email.

yeah this cheque clearing thing, put it in the bank it clears in 3 working days you draw on it but the cheque can still be cancelled up to 10 days , found this out when i paid a cheque in to capital one to clear my credit card and the cheque was not credited to my account rang them and the bank and they had to wait the 10 days as it can still be cancelled thats why im not happy about personal cheques .
