No, I did NOT.

So this showed up in my email this morning. Never heard of the place, have definitely not bought anything there. It isn't showing up (yet) on my bank account, have reported it as phishing.

Anyone else getting this thing?

1. I get similar things all the time

They're all phishing attempts.

3. Same. Whatever you do don't click anything

Check your PayPal acct, bet it’s not there.

I get several Nortons purchase notifications daily and I would never use Nortons. They’re just looking for us to pop our heads up like prairie dogs so they can pick us off. Don’t take the bait.

2. Ignore and delete, it's just a phishing email.

9. Aw fuck. I just got a phone call, someone ordered a new iMac in my name.

I was hoping to get it in tomorrow's delivery.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

4. I get emails saying my PayPal account has been restricted.

I delete them after reporting them to the proper channels.

They are Phishing emails wanting access to information that SHOULD be shared. I get these from a fake Square as well.

5. Look at the email account it came from

It's a gmail accouny and nothing indicates it is from Paypal.

I get crap like this fairly often, report it as phishing.

7. Kind of disturbing it was Nova Armory....

8. Not sure I would post my name and email address on any site! Nt

[mahatmakanejeeves]

13. That's the return address. All we know about madamesilverspurs is that her name is

"You."

[Hortensis]

18. That's my name also, though, which means they have it too!

Thanks, Madame. If they come for me I'll be forewarned.

10. Almost daily

Last one said unless I click the link they will be shipping me my ipad. I'm waiting Is for it to arrive.

11. Forwarding your scam to law enforcement

My standard reply.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

12. Just every day. NT

[TreasonousBastard]

14. I don't get emails so much as text messages that I have a...

package, prize, or refund waiting for me.

PITA.

[ChazII]

15. I get these and I don't even have

a Paypal account. They go into the trash without me opening them.

16. I got 3 calls allegedly from Social Security saying there's a warrant for my arrest...

and to press 1 to clear it up. I did just to listen to their bullshit for a while. The person started by first telling me my address. I told yes, that's correct. He then asked for my SS number so I decided that was far enough and told him I wouldn't give him my number and that this was all a big scam and hung up.

A few days later I got a similar call so I decided to play with then again. This time I let them get as far as asking for my SS number again before I told the guy that Social Security never calls, they send letters, then I called him a scammer and hung up.

The third scam call a couple of weeks later, avoided asking for my SS number and skirted my saying SS never calls they send letters. He responded by saying that I must clear this up and to get my information in order and to call him back to avoid arrest. He then proceed to give me his name, phone number and pager number.

I stopped him right there and said: "Pager? Did you say pager?"

He then hung up immediately as he knew he had fucked up as no one uses pagers anymore, except in some scammer outfits in India maybe.

How to answer spam phone calls...

Keep asking: What is your name?
... until you get an answer.

What is your company/org name?
... until you get an answer.

What is your company/org address?
... until you get an answer.

What is your company/org phone number?
... until you get an answer.

What number can I get in contact with you?
... until you get an answer.

So what if they lie?
You're just going to hang up on them anyway.
Even better if you say 'sorry, not interested'.
.
Their time is also important to them.

17. the volume of scams is prodigious

A sad by-product of the internet, but scamming of course predates the internet

[iemanja]

19. I haven't gotten this exact one

but I get phishing emails nearly every day. Notice how the email address isn't from Paypal. That makes it obvious it's a scam. I lot of times the email addresses are full of tons of letters, numbers, and syllables.

[Emile]

20. I use to have a PayPal account. Not anymore after

it was hacked on eBay.

[Hekate]

21. I tried so hard to delete the damn thing. I can't even remember what was the ONE thing I used it for

But somehow it still knows who I am — as does Linked In.
