Boy, do I get those bank scams, too. I can't believe that anybody would be

so stupid as to reply to anything like that.

RE: PayPal Scam

LOL I get them EVERY day at email address I have NEVER used on any groups.

Just to correspond with customers and my hubby. Somehow the spammers got

those email addresses. I love those....never had PayPal on those accounts...

My favorite spam is the banking ones. Click here to update your account

info. I belong to a credit union and they NEVER send you anything by email

to update your account. They ALWAYS send a letter on paper when they need an

update. I would NEVER update my banking info online. The bank that holds my

business accounts does NOT allow any updates to your account online. It's

kind of a pain because you MUST do it in person at the bank. But at least no

one can pretend to be me! Every one at my bank knows me. They still have to

ask for ID when doing any account maintenance. I like that!

I would never respond to ANY PalPal emails. I get them all of the time and

I have never even signed up for an account with them!!

I recently got several e-mails from " PayPal " saying that an unauthorized

user had accessed my account. I just ignored it ~ figured it was spam! I

*hate* that.

Have a little tolerance for those who fall for these scams. There are

many honest people out there who wouldn't consider sending an email

pretending to be someone else, or trying to impersonate a bank or other

financial institution. Or sell non-existent stock shares, or convince

people to invest in phony land deals. That's why scams in general

continue to be successful, online and offline.

Also, many people don't yet understand that the net and email can't be

taken at face value, that anyone can throw up a web page, and that any

email could be from just about anyone, including a mindless virus.

These people unconsciously assume that the 'from' field is as valid as

the caller id info that shows up on their phones. It's a reasonable

assumption. Who in their right minds would assume that something as

massive as the internet, something over which so much information

passes, that has become so depended on for information flow, would have

so little security? That the sender, reply-to, even the date can't be

relied on?

Even us 'seasoned folk' get suckered in at times, as evidenced by the

number of hoaxes many of us still fall for and pass on.

You know since I have had this cancer issue....I have people coming out of the

woodwork trying to sell me cures...sad to think how people can prey on someone

when they are sick just to make a buck. What a sick world we live in. God will

judge them in the end.

One lady came over my house and wanted to sell me this fruit juice that cured

everything from acne to cancer. It was like 50 a bottle and I needed one bottle

a day. Glad I grew up in the getto of Philly I can spot a scam.
