Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Hi, all. Sorry for the cross post. Is anyone else experiencing problems with PayPal? Earlier today some of my customers received duplicate invoices and some received reminders for payments they had already made! The problem is that although I have no control over this, some people are peeved with me. It's frustrating. PayPal says they're working on it, but can't explain why it happened in the first place. Anyone else having issues with PP???????????? Thanks for letting me dump! LOL pamela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 I have had major problems with them. I only used them to pay once and I have been receiving an e-mail from them for the last few weeks. It's entitled 'PAYPAL account reminder' and has an attachment with it. When I open it, it lets me know that my account is about to expire and I need to update my information. It gives me a deadline of five days to get it done but I've been receiving the message for three weeks. Also, when I scanned the attachments they sent me everytime there was a virus located. Sounds like they're having serious system problems. Sheryl Pleasing Odors Creations <pamela@...> wrote: Hi, all. Sorry for the cross post. Is anyone else experiencing problems with PayPal?

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Hi Sheryl:\\ Be aware that the email you have gotten is NOT from PayPal, and should not be opened...I too was getting the one you describe below, --about 30 a day and called to complain...they are having some problems with someone " imitating " them...and actually they are random hits on email addresses...I know this because although I have a PayPal account, they do not have the email address that the bad email was sent to... If you go on the PayPal site it tells you all about this, and what to do and how to avoid this... Sharon Re: PayPal Going Crazy? - OT I have had major problems with them. I only used them to pay once and I have been receiving an e-mail from them for the last few weeks. It's entitled 'PAYPAL account reminder' and has an attachment with it. When I open it, it lets me know that my account is about to expire and I need to update my information. It gives me a deadline of five days to get it done but I've been receiving the message for three weeks. Also, when I scanned the attachments they sent me everytime there was a virus located.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Hi, Sheryl! Sorry to hear about that. I think, though, that you have been receiving a message that is being sent by someone trying to get personal info. There are a lot of hackers out there who dupe the PayPal logo and headers to try to scam someone out of their credit card info. PayPal does what they can to combat those messages, but there's always someone else ready to start them again. Sorry to hear you're a current target. That's a real bummer about the virus. Be careful! pamela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
