I just got this email from paypal:

This credit card transaction will appear on your bill as "PAYPAL robertoelectronics*". PayPal Shopping Cart ContentsItem Name: Nokia 8800 Brand NewQuantity: 1 Total: $410.00 USD![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Cart Subtotal: $410.00 USDShipping Charge: $30.00 USDCart Total: $440.00 USD![]() ![]() ![]() Shipping Information Shipping Info: Roberto Iank540 Catherine Road New York, NY 10018 United States Address Status: Unconfirmed If you haven't authorized this charge, click the link below to cancel the payment and get a full refund.Dispute Transaction Of course, I didn't order a Nokia and didn't pay US$440 to this crowd! I checked my account and there's no such transaction. So I guess this is really a bogus email. What do I do? Just ignore it and delete it from my inbox? |

It's so easy to do!! I count myself pretty net-savvy and have nearly done it a few times ... esp when you are in a sleep-deprived haze or got a baby on your lap or something *shakes fist at scammers*

My Paypal account and ebay account were hacked about 18 months ago and the dispute went on for months. There's a lot of weird and crazy stuff people do out there that I can't even comprehend how they are able to do it.
