Paypal - Am I Being Shafted?

[bednobs]

when i go to paypal, it's saying they are performing routine security maintenance, and asking me to put my full bank account number in, (they give me the last 2 numbers which are correct) then asking me to change password. I go there by logging into paypal.co.uk, and it is "https"
shall i put it in?

my post was supposed to help anyone having a similar problem caused by a bogus e-mail, if it's not relevant to you you should ignore it

It's ok, I have had a little weep......... but I think I'm over it now.

email, did I mention email? I get the same Ignore them, Beds, I do not respond to any mails regading P.P.

[Mick-Talbot]

er yes, you did.





Beds, I do not respond to any mails regading P.P. Delete then you know you & your account is safe.

[bednobs]

if it's not email, what do you "get" twr?

[TWR]

Notifications Beds, I do not respond to any of them, as you know, they have your detail, If there was something wrong regards payment etc, you would then be asked to edit your account, I would close the account down & open another, that way I know I'm safe but each to their own.

[bednobs]

how do you receive these notifications then?

[TWR]

As you say, via P.P.

I've had suspicious emails which I fwd to PayPal's spoof address - I've not had anything via the site when I try to log in.

[bednobs]

surely it's a right pain to shut down your entire account, register and verify a new card, use a new email address etc twr, especially if you've had to do it more than once like you said? why don't you just contact paypal as i did

[tonyav]

So have I boxy.

I'm confused by TWR's responses. Whilst emails from paypal are usually phishing/fraudulent unless they include your name and some other details, any message you get after signing into your paypal account should be taken seriously- I can't see any reason to ignore it

[boxtops]

I certainly wouldn't do that, bednobs, especially when there is no need.
