Scam emails will always exist and by clubbing together to forward these messages to paypal may seem insignificant but could make all the difference between someone getting duped and loosing to the scammers and them loosing out.

Mike,
You need to understand the enormity of this problem. PayPal, and companies like them, are limited in what they can do, once you’ve received an email. To act like you had a unique issue that you needed them to respond to is just unrealistic.

Kat,
I do the same thing. Keep doing what you’re doing. Eevery email DOES count.

I’ve been forwarding the fake mails to spoof@paypal.com for about 4 months…. I am just stupid or really nobody cares….

My boss just has been scammed and he gave all the personal information by mail, he pressed the wrong link

what to do? it’s easy

he closed all his bank account, spend one week making new ones and he promise to himself to buy only in the stores with cash

@Jack – Indeed it is an automated email. But I believe someone at paypal will eventually look into the issue. Paypal has a reputation to keep and the less duped customers they have, the better it is. ;-)

In the past I have forwarded blank emails to spoof@paypal.com, and received a response confirming that this was indeed phishing email. It’s an automated feel-good response that you’ve done something right, not an actual person reviewing it.
