Re: ***Caution***: Paypal Users
 
I have two accounts on here at home and at work and received e-mails to both e-mail addresses (one for each account).

I've checked with various other people at work with NTL broadband and on the company domain and nobody else has got this e-mail.

Also got other e-mail address on various domains some with associated paypal accounts and some without - none of these got this message.

This has just put me off from ever ordering through Ebay or ever using paypal in my life ever again, while that may be overreacting it is keeping my finances sorted and my mind calm, with things like this happening it could soon shove me into trouble financially.

Because we are a fairly high profile site with a large user base made up of the general population, not just techy people etc - people from all over the UK.

Oh don't you worry, as I explained to the guys earlier; whoever has done this will be hit with the full extent of the law or failing that, a large stick with a nail in it.

Me too, and I don't remember ever getting a paypal account... sent it to them, and spamcop.

The addresses seem to vary, but I bet it's all direct-route spam from zombie PC's

Re: ***Caution***: Paypal Users
 
I've had a reply from spoof@paypal.com to confirm that is is not from them.I should imagine everyone has told them by now. :)

Re: ***Caution***: Paypal Users
 
Well I've never had a Paypal account either and got an email too - in case anyone wants to know! ;)
