Hi all,

We have just had three repeat calls to my mobile number from Omaha,NE, United States requesting to enter our PAY PAL PASS WORD The incoming NO:+1 (402)935-7733

Do not respond.

Jim

Thanks - I'll be forewarned if I get a call.

In the past I have had several e-mails asking me to confirm my Pay Pal details - naturally, I deleted them immediately. It seems that mobile phones are now being used for similar scams.

Been getting emails for weeks re Paypal account. Just ignore it as they are all scams.

For those that do use Pay Pal the give away that the request to confirm your password is a scam is easy to spot - they never quote your name! Like Dav4Cris says, delete them immediately.

The same goes for the ones saying that you have inherited x millions as you have the same surname as a person who died so you must be a relative - then they ask you to advise them your name!

PayPal have an address you can forward these scam emails to, I have a couple of times and have had an answer back explaining the points to look for, usually obvious, no Christian name etc, not know it off the top of my head as it's on my desktop address book but can put here later if anyone wants it

Paypal address is

phising@paypal.com

forward all your bogus emails to them, or any that you are not certain of, Paypal usually get back to you within 24hrs.

That's the one! It has an "h" after the s though, phishing!
