i hate those little ****ers that think they are cool by stealing peoples money. thats why i would never use pay pal. If i ever hear of one of those little punks around here i am going to beat them down so bad, curb stomp them and kick them in the nuts.
its annoying that all of these poeple are trying to steal other peoples money and its starting to piss me off. I swear that if i ever hear of someone doing that in my city, you better watch yourself.

Good luck with your paypal thing, i hope it works out.

paypal is not stealing the money at all.

the link and e-mail was made by somebody else and looks just like the paypal site. what they do is make a virual amt and take your money directly out of your account.

this is some 3rd party people using paypals good name to steal your money.

i know that pay pal is not taking the money. i just never would use becuase of things like this. send those bastards down to my house when you find them, im going to bust them up

 

[Sir_Crackien]

i would send them to you but only after i get done with them! btw i think this scam is in another country!!! go scam your own god damn people!!

When you get to the page does it ask for your password and login info?

oh ya another thing too, I find this super funny. all my ebay auctions are set up to one email address, and my paypal is hooked to another emial. and i get all this spam saying "update your paypal/ebay account" like twice a day. But they are sending it to my email which isnt even hooked up to paypal. stupid people!

curb stomp them and kick them in the nuts.

You gotta be pretty dumb to fall from email scams. If if any company emails you and says Dear member, or Dear user, or anything like that without actually stating your name or username, then it's a scam. Also, companies/sites do not ask to re-enter passwords or update credit cards.

If you think the email is real, go to the website yourself, not with the link they provide you with. If a company wants something from you, they will ask for it when you login.
