Paypal Fraud (Ignore at your peril)

[Skeet]

When I log into my PayPal account it is telling me I am getting close to my limit and I need to answer some questions to prove I am not laundering money
I havent bothered cause I cant be arsed. Anyone else having this when they log in?

When you get around the £4000 mark, they notify you that you may have to answer some question etc, as part of official money laundering protocol.

It's routine, but nobody ever asked me anything.

If you have a basic account, it might be a lower amount.

Are you not Verified? Verified is the way forward

Nige ,the money laundering thing is right I have had to do it twice and i bet lump as done it 6 or 7 times.

 

[TheRenton]

yup i've had it too, just means you've had a lot of transactions and they want to check things out. Quite good for them to do it actually.

Word. I've had to do this a few times, they normally transfer a few pence into your bank account with a reference number which you have to phone them with, It doesn't take long.

I've also had the spoof email and a different one where it says someone has sent you funds, when I looked at the web address it didn't even say Paypal in it so just ignored it, best thing to do is always log in on the official site to check your account, can't go wrong with that

If you get any email like that just forward it to spoof@paypal.com then they will deal with it. Quicker method of dealing with these sort of emails.
