Scammed Hard

DEE DEE DEE

Bad news Dent. Hope the bank returns your funds.

Did your e-mail look something like this:

Dear sahlgoode@netscape.net , We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your PayPal account from a different IP address. If you recently accessed your account while traveling, the unusual log in attempts may have been initiated by you. However, if you did not initiate the log ins, please visit PayPal as soon as possible to check-up your account information:

http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run Thanks for your patience. Sincerely, PayPal

Please do not reply to this e-mail. Mail sent to this address cannot be answered.

I clicked on the link, but AdWatch wouldn't let me open the page so I copied, and pasted it into my browser. It took me to Paypal. I hit their "Contact us" , and pasted the above e-mail along with a brief expaination of my history with them, (non-exsistent)and how the link didn't work.

When they contacted me ( for some reason I didn't save their answer, only this e-mail) it was explained to me that the e-mail was not sent by them, the link was bogus,and they were going to investigate. I never heard from them again.
Obviously the link was masked.

Too bad Dent. I hope you can get it all straightened out.

You called your credit card company? Most of them are pretty good about theft.

Good luck!

I get em from "ebay" all tha meep time....gmail works wonders. You can tell they are fake cause they say...

DEAR MEMBER, Your account will be delete if you dont login and update your info....they always provide a nice convienent link there toooo. Usually looks like this....

Sadly most of us have recieved that same email for the scam PayPal site. Since I hardly ever use Paypal I just delete the email and go about being a meeptard in my usual manner but keep my pennies safe.

i've gotten the paypal one, but it's something about registering a bank account or my paypal acct may be closed. instead of using the link in the email, i logged into paypal and saw no such notification.

sucks dude.

What sucks is that I fell for it.

I got my cash back, and a constant state of idiot face.

Thats too bad, matey. Glad you got it sorted out.

Hey Dent, I've got some stupid nigerians who are going to put $97 million in my bank account any day now. I just sent them all my banking info and $10 K to help them cover their expenses.

I'll cut you in for a quarter mill for an investment of $50K.

How could I not?

Ok since you got your money back I can now say this: even my nearly 60 year old father doesn't fall for those scams. I mean, dude. He even showed me how they get phising scams in their email at work all the time, and showed me how it went to a legit-looking website. In the future, definitely do what the other members say: log into the actual PayPal/bank website itself, no clicking links. Definitely sucks that that happened.

the awesome thing is all the news articles i've read in the last 3 months pertaining to this exact scam

Reading Is Fundamental

^yeah.

I always read those stories and was like "LOLZ, who would fall for that?" Now I know.

:D

The A2M ATM in Dent's hood

HAHA Wrong link. Chut.

Couldn't resist

You my friend got lucky to get your tokens back. Which establishment reimbursed you? And might I add HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

WOO FOR ROOSEVELT.

While I have never been held up at gun point, mugged etc, I can assume the feeling of having money taken right from under a middle class secure meep would feel about the same. The difference is you did not look the thieves in the face or feel the cold hard steel against your skin while emptying your pockets on the streets. You were robbed in your home, while you sat safe and secure and did not even realize it was happening. I am not laughing at you at all. meep happens. For you this meep happened and your first thought was how to take care of the babies.... Lucky for you the baby did not have to go a day without a clean meep and Papa came home with money in his pockets. And in the future Papa will safe guard his meep a little more better so the baby will always have a clean meep.

I agree with the point Dumbskull is trying to make: Wipe your baby's meep with money.

sux dude. now what was your check card account number? I'll be sure everything is ok...

Hmm. I dunno sounds like pay pal may have screwed something up. I'd click on that link in the email and try again.

:-P

Promoted to Hall of Fame

HAHA, badged by his own artwork!

I was just poking Dent's taint about this morning on FB.

Haha, this just made me spit Keebler Club and Cheddar crackers all over my screen. Both of you are on the dark end of nignoggery.

:D

I admit the irony spun through my guts like a bullet dipped lightly in lemon zest.

Didn't dent do the same stupid meep and got internet raped?
