NOT A SCAM

 

[Acme54321]

Why do you think that's a scam?

 

[zedro]

uhh dude, a scam usually entails a way of ripping you off. You might of noticed that theres no actual scam being done here. Its legit.

i got the same email too. Heres some more http://www.shareholder.com/paypal/releaseDetail.cfm?ReleaseID=137446&Category=US

 

[Acme54321]

Yeah, and the fact that it's on Paypal's own website makes it seem pretty believable.

Hm, they might think that YOU are trying to scam THEM.

 

[zedro]

ok, new rule...do some research before you start screaming the sky is falling ok?

Thats not a scam at all. How are they scamming you, they arent even asking for a password, or any personal info
There was a post in general discussion about this a few days ago, and this is on paypal's website, and EVERYONE that signed up for paypal has gotten that email.

Um?

ok, new rule...do some research before you start screaming the sky is falling ok?

If you click on the link to the page that you are suppose to fill out your info. It directs you to a non-paypal site?

So what is your take on this?

If it doesn't ask for your password, bank account, credit card number, or 2ndary password hints, then it's probably on the level.

no, the link directs you to a paypal site which then tells you its redirecting you to a non-paypal site, which happens to be a site posted by a lawfirm whos handeling the lawsuit.
