Paypal Scam (Again!!)

[simon8]

Seems geoffc1945 has either had his account hacked or is a spammer!
Keep getting this multiple times, not impressed, now!!

"I can't understand, 3 days ago you told me to pay by Paypal to proceed with shipping next day. Payment has been sent, gave you the proof of payment and I still have no item, this is the last day I am waiting, if I won't get it, I'll report you to Police and Paypal. .

I think I've seen this scam message on here before
geoffc is probably also frustrated that his name is being used. Have a look at the sender's real address (maybe go into headers) and you may find these are being sent by different people perhaps unwittingly

this geoffc one was doing the rounds in 2015

You can forward them t the spoof/phishing email address teams at ebay and paypal but I don't think they can stop the flow since they will be being generated from loads of people without their knowledge

Other ebay user names have been used too- see this AB thread

In the last week I have had 2 emails from PayPal (alledgly) the first one said my 'servlce' would be removed and the second was from PeyPal. I forwarded both emails to [email protected]
