PayPal Phishing Scam - "Your Payment NO - 754 620 185 236"
an anonymous user from: London, England, United Kingdom

I got it for a second time. One for angry birds and one for farm heroes...

Just cut and pasted the do not reply email address to google and ended up here! I guessed it was a phishing scam so did change my paypal password. All seems ok.

If anyone reads this.... a little tip I can offer....

I took out a credit card with a 300 pound limit on it. I use it purely for internet purchases. I purposely set the limit at this so if it is stolen/phished the loss is not massive. I then get the statement through the post and pay it off each month. Bit of a pain but I feel happier knowing nobody cause me a huge pain in the backside! Lol!

Hope my tip helps :)

Hi, I got the exact same email as you. I was a little confused first when I received the mail and PayPal didn't look quite right nor did the email. Luckily I did not click on the link. I did suspect this was some scam, just googled the whole thing and found this page. Thanks to everyone for sharing their experience. There really are some sad lying thieves out there - shame on those people who try to scam innocent people out of their hard earned money. Just disgusts me to the core.
