Some of you probably allready know this but I just had it happen to me. I recieved an email from service@paypal.com confirming my purchase of a $699.99 computer from Dell. It gave me the shipping info of where it was going. This website looks exactly like a paypal email, to the "T". The scam is when you click on cancel transaction it makes you enter your email, password and credit card info. I was lucky and decided to call paypal instead of doing it online so I could yell at somebody. The guy told me the scam and said that if the email says, Dear Member (instead of your name) then it is not from them. Hopefully they get that shit right because that looks just like there site and comes from there address. You guys may allready know but thought I would put it out there.

Pisses me off. This is a billion dollar company and they cant stop that kind of thing? I tell ya if it was a smaller order I would have used the link but it was $700 so I wanted to scream at somebody personally. The guy was like "dont worry it wasnt a charge its just a scam" like that makes it all better. Dicks.
