Or Have Scammers Found A Drafty PP Back Door?

On 04/21/2009 I received the below email from PayPal. It was sent at 11:32 PM after I was sound asleep the night before. As usual I pulled the headers up - and everything about the message pointed right back to PayPal as the sender. As a matter of habit I forwarded the message to spoof@paypal.com along with the headers. I also validated the phone number via a Google Search and it traced back to PayPal too.

Several hours later I got a reply back from spoof-review@paypal.com saying the message was not sent by PayPal and it links to a FAKE WEBSITE! Scratching my head in disbelief.

I had not clicked the link before - but the curiosity was getting the best of me, so I ran CCleaner on my system deleting all my cookies, cache, etc, then clicked the link. It brought up a secure page on paypal.com saying the link had expired. There was another option to confirm my identity at the bottom of that page.

I selected email and then clicked continue. The page reloaded saying i should receive an email at blank - but never received one. I did a view source of the page and everything suggests I was on the official PayPal website. Also note the https secure notifications in all the website screen shots showing I was on secure PayPal pages.

So my question is - did a scammer try to hack my PayPal Account? Or have Scammers found another way into PayPal? Though I don’t see anything fraudulent in any of the pages displayed. I’m thinking PayPal is simply flagging their own emails as fraudulent. Could they be using delayed auto-responders on messages sent to spoof@paypal.com?

Wow.. I wonder what else being sold on eBay is SO HOT it will burn your hands to touch?

First it was the Stairway-To-The-Stars eFence Then a Mother & Son Stealing Segate Hard Drives - Then the DR Phil Show eFence - Now it’s some DoDo stealing Xerox ink from his employer - and selling it on eBay.

Here are a few more screen shots - Including one of all the items eBay removed.

I wonder who will be next to make the public spotlight of eFences?

If your selling on eBay you do not have to accept PayPal as eBay would like you to do. ProPay is another electronic payment method that eBay allows you to accept.
