I have a Paypal account and I buy a lot of stuff from eBay. My account is connected to my Yahoo email; it used to be with my office email but sometimes our firewall treats Paypal emails as spam.
Anyway, I checked my Yahoo account yesterday and there was a notice that I sent payment of 395.85USD to someone for buying an Omega Constellation Watch (must've been a fake watch that one ). Scrolling down the message there was an area which asked if this transaction is not authorized; I should click on the Problem Resolution Center. I clicked on it and the website appeared which definitely looked like Paypal. It asked me to log in; which I did. The next step was that it asked for my First Name, Last Name, Credit Card info, etc. This actually struck me as being strange. Since I had a Paypal account, logging in automatically tells the website who I am and what my personal details are.
What I did was immediately logged out. I then logged in again and changed my password and secret question (when you forget your password this one prompts you). Logged out again, then logged in and checked my history or activity. It showed that there was no purchase done on the said date (when I supposedly bought a watch). I forwarded the suspect email to: 'sp[email protected]' for them to clarify and investigate for me. I also checked with my credit card company and thankfully they said that there was no activity related to the case I described.
This morning I checked my Yahoo email and Paypal responded saying that they have verified the email to be a fake. The first point is that Paypal will never address you as "Dear Member or Dear Paypal Member". The second point is that there was a difference in the URL used by the fraud link. For those of you who use Paypal; please take some time off and read a little more on this. There's a "Contact Us" section, from there you can type "Fraud" in the search field. A topic saying "How do I differentiate between a fake and authentic email from Paypal" (or something like that).
Lastly, Paypal said that if I did fill out the information requested by the fraud URL; chances are my credit card info would have been obtained and who knows what can happen. I'm sending you a copy of the email I received. PLEASE TREAT THIS AS REFERENCE ONLY. DO NOT COPY OR CLICK ON ANY LINKS.
Cheers
Rob

Thank you for using PayPal!
The PayPal Team
First: check on which domain you are checked.
Most fraud email don't link to real sites.
However: you see good link for example http://www.paypal.com/authorize.html in email, but when you hover over the link, below your good email client you can see real link in status bar, for example http://paypal.proof.nu/auth/login.php or so. Or strange ipnumber http://12.31.78.2/paypal/auth.html.
(links are not real - just for example, no need to clicking!!!!)
Yes, don't look blindly on words on the email. Look always behind the emails: which real links are here used? Is there not extra words used, is grammar okay, and looks altijd first on official sites if there is indeed happens. If there is indeed such information available then you can look further. If there is warning about fake emails, trash the email immediately or forward to paypal site for examining fraud links.
Such strange links are not linked to www.paypal.com. That is why you must always check the real links where you going to.
And when the fraud email links real to www.paypal.com site, then is fraud email useless.
Full image fraud emails are almost fake. You can always trash them.
Similar thing happened to me with an Amazon spoof site. Of course, the email was in HTML and the link redirected me to another site that asked me to sign in and then give credit card details. It looked very convincing indeed. This was the first time I'd ever received such a thing and it nearly caught me off guard but luckily I realised at the last moment that it was illegal 'phishing' activity. I'm not sure who to report this to though, Amazon, or a more authorative body like the police? See the attached images for what the site/email looked like.
Regards,
Neil.
thanks for the info
PayPal Example
mrdummy - You had some great points.
I just came across an interesting example of a PayPal fraud email.
The email had this from header...
"From: [email protected] ([email protected]) "
If you look at the domain name... [email protected] "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".
Other good email fraud tips.
GMail will also put a little key next to the sender's name if it is a legitamate email... atleast in PayPal's case.
I am looking for a app that wen a KEYWORD is SMS to my phone it will reply with a predetermined SMS associated with that KEYWORD
I am willing to pay for this app and
please contact me if interested
THANKS

Look at MagiCall. It has VERY encompassing capabilities.
dktext.com
check out dktext.com its exactly what you are looking for
Yes! dktext.com
I agree with bmnaccounts. I've been using DKText.com and I have NO complaints! They even have an "open door" policy that allows you to make requests or submit ideas to make their service better. I've asked for a couple of new ideas to be implemented, and they DID implement them! In fact, they began working on creating my solutions within 24 hours! Seriously. You can't find a better place for a text message solution in my book!
Also, all you need is a domain name, and you're good to go. However, since DKText.com requires the domain name, they will purchase the domain name and host it for you on their server! Since your customers will be texting your domain name, be sure to keep it short!
Pls who has the link to this MagiCall ?
keyword based sms autoreesponder
Hi, Don't know what MagiCall is, but there is keyword based sms autoreesponder for android
Can't paste a link, so just search for "text marketing autoresponder" on the Google Play
Looking to use my xoom as a sign in/guestbook to collect names and emails of guests at an upcoming party. I've seen how useful Chimpadeedoo for iOS's kiosk style interface can be for gathering and managing customer email addresses and I was wondering if anything similar has been developed for android 3.0. Again I'm only looking to store emails and names. Anyone seen anything? Also, I apologize ahead of time if this the wrong forum for this type of post. If it is just redirect me. Thanks

Facebook says hackers accessed a wide swath of information — ranging from emails and phone numbers to more personal details like sites visited and places checked into — from millions of accounts as part of a security breach the company disclosed two weeks ago.
Twenty-nine million accounts had some form of information stolen. Originally Facebook said 50 million accounts were affected, but that it didn't know if they had been misused.
The news comes at a jittery time ahead of the midterm elections when Facebook is fighting off misuse of its site on a number of fronts. The company said Friday there's no evidence this is related to the midterms.
On Friday Facebook said hackers accessed names, email addresses or phone numbers from these accounts. For 14 million of them, hackers got even more data, such as hometown, birthdate, the last 10 places they checked into or the 15 most recent searches.
An additional 1 million accounts were affected, but hackers didn't get any information from them.
Facebook isn't giving a breakdown of where these users are, but says the breach was "fairly broad." It plans to send messages to people whose accounts were hacked.
Facebook said third-party apps that use a Facebook login and Facebook apps like WhatsApp and Instagram were unaffected by the breach.
Facebook said the FBI is investigating, but asked the company not to discuss who may be behind the attack. The company said it hasn't ruled out the possibility of smaller-scale attacks that used the same vulnerability.
Facebook has said the attackers gained the ability to "seize control" of those user accounts by stealing digital keys the company uses to keep users logged in. They could do so by exploiting three distinct bugs in Facebook's code.
The hackers began with a set of accounts they controlled, then used an automated process to access the digital keys for accounts that were "friends" with the accounts they had already compromised. That expanded to "friends of friends," extending their access to about 400,000 accounts, and went on from there to reach 30 million accounts. There is no evidence that the hackers made any posts or took any other activity using the hacked accounts.
The company said it has fixed the bugs and logged out affected users to reset those digital keys.
At the time, CEO Mark Zuckerberg — whose own account was compromised — said attackers would have had the ability to view private messages or post on someone's account, but there's no sign that they did.
Facebook Vice President Guy Rosen said in a call with reporters on Friday the company hasn't ruled out the possibility of smaller-scale efforts to exploit the same vulnerability that the hackers used before it was disabled.
The company has a website its 2 billion global users can use to check if their accounts have been accessed, and if so, exactly what information was stolen. It will also provide guidance on how to spot and deal with suspicious emails or texts. Facebook will also send messages directly to those people affected by the hack.
Patrick Moorhead, founder of Moor Insights & Strategy, said the breach appeared similar to identity theft breaches that have occurred at companies including Yahoo and Target in 2013.
"Those personal details could be very easily be used for identity theft to sign up for credit cards, get a loan, get your banking password, etc.," he said. "Facebook should provide all those customers free credit monitoring to make sure the damage is minimised."
Thomas Rid, a professor at the Johns Hopkins University, also said the evidence, particularly the size of the breach, seems to point to a criminal motive rather than a sophisticated state operation, which usually targets fewer people.
"This doesn't sound very targeted at all," he said. "Usually when you're looking at a sophisticated government operation, then a couple of thousand people hacked is a lot, but they usually know who they're going after."
