Peter
Garton, an RV8 member in Germany, posted a "PayPal
scam!" warning on the V8 Bulletin Board on
26th November 2012 saying "I have just received
a mail from PayPal purporting that I have transferred
a sum of money to Simon Austin. One should open
up a selection if sites if I was in any doubt about
the transfer. There was one tiny mistake in the
text which was quite substantial in its entirety.
I did not open the mail and binned it immediately
and herewith issue a warning that this scam is around
and it is |
targeted
at our bulletin board."
A copy of the email Peter received is reproduced
above with a full size copy via the link below.
Presumably to get a refund you have to provide details
of your bank account and then - bingo for the scammer!
As usual these scams can be very convincing but
do take care. By the way, the V8 Register ceased
using PayPal as its online payment system several
years ago and switched to a better quality of service
from WorldPay because of the poor service standards
experienced at the local PayPal office in Richmond
upon Thames.
