Default Paypal Payback raffle draw

Dear legaltidbits

Welcome to 419Legal and thanks for your post.

Is there anything that can be done with these people?
Regrettably chances are little to locate whereabouts the crooks and/or land them in jail.
BEST as you practice, is to try google search or any search engines when you receive skeptical emails from unknown person or company.
Please protect yourself from crooks with good knowledge about fraudulence that can be obtained from governmental bodies like FTC or IC3 etc
or any anti-scam forums like 419Legal. (Click on above FTC or IC3 to go) Thank you

Awareriskinc

Default Spammy Givaways

Definitely look at how emails address you. In your Paypal email they didn't address you personally, normally it's pretty standard for spam to address you either generally or by easily obtainable information... like the email they just sent the message to.

I just came across this example of an email header to look out for.

"From: (service@paypal.com) (service@accounts-paypal.com) "

If you look at the domain name... service@... "ACCOUNTS-PAYPAL.COM", you can see that it's not from paypal.com. That's the best way to determine whether or not it's spam email.

GMail does a great job of helping you determine this. This email wouldn't have even showed up in your spam box since GMail wouldn't have accepted it because it's claiming to be from "paypal.com" and it's actually from "accounts-paypal.com".

GMail will also put a little key next to the sender's name if it is a legitamate email... atleast in PayPal's case.
