I get those all the time!! And since I have never been a PayPal subscriber, I always wonder what it is they are constantly dinging me about :-)

They all get deleted pretty fast.

Nearly daily I get those. Now I am getting one that says that I must update my Hotmail account immediately or it will be terminated in 24 hours. Interesting, I got the same email about 2 weeks ago, and nothing has happened 😂!

So much junk spam floating around. Unfortunately some people believe it.

Yes, I finally know how to see if it is Spam or not. Every so often I get emails supposedly from my cousin, but are not from her. I am very suspicious when I see something from her. Especially if it has a link.

The emails that falsely appear to have come from familiar names sometimes happen when that email account has been broken into and its history or of the address book gets taken. Or, taken by bad buys who scan real email messages in transit over the internet.

As for your Pay Pal problem, I know how to fix it. Mail to me please 2 or 3 pre-signed but otherwise unfilled-out checks from your personal checking account and I'll remedy the problem.

Elmer, you are so helpful. I didn't realize it would be that simple, just to send you some pre-signed checks. Will drop in tomorrows mail for sure!

Oops, don't have your mailing address. Waiting for it!

Can't send you a message because the system has been changed or is broken, just address the envelope to Elmer J Fudd, General Delivery, Looney Tunes, CA. Label the envelope as Personal and Confidential.

Don't know if anyone has mentioned it before but I like your new user photo A LOT!

I must be a VIP at our electric company. This morning at 1:15 my phone was ringing. It was in another room , so I truthfully stumbled out of bed. I looked down and it was not a number on my contacts ; so I cut ringer to silence. Few seconds later got alert for voice message. It was a lovely young man , stating he was from our electric service, and it was concerning that he did name our correct service, it was past due and I needed to call him immediately with payment. Had concerns that he knew name of our service. I silenced both our phones . Guessing he had knowledge of what area we are located. I blocked the number , but that does nothing . Scammers always change the incoming number. I was so happy when the IRS quit calling with threats. Haven’t heard from her in about a year.

I hear you, I have been "in Trouble" many times.

If you like my mask Elmer, you must be a Hello Kitty fan!

Sending checks to address you posted! Wait for it!

That sort of message is usually a scam and could be dangerous if you open it. Next time you get one of these, hover your cursor over the sender's name to see the URL from which it was sent. (This may not reveal the real sender. The sender could have spoofed his address to appear to be someone else. In any event, if it does not appear like a Pay Pal address, delete it, or If your ISP has an anti-scam service, send the email to it.)

kathy, I'm more of a My Little Pony fan. I have my collection lined up on the chest of drawers in the bedroom.

(Or, as I think someone once said recently in a thread about people whose word and spelling knowledge were obviously deficient, is it the "chestadrar"?

I'm a fan of the website 419eater.com, where people turn the tables and scam the scammers.

Why waste your time? Nothing will be accomplished.

Elmer, somedays I'm bored or just plain feeling mischievous. I want to "get even" with them. Never nasty (as I did telemarketing when I was about 19), but just keeping them busy.

One time I was waiting for a call from my doctor's office and when my phone rang with an unfamiliar number I answered it. It was a girl saying I had won one of three valuable prize of the and all I had to do was answer a few questions.

I asked her why I was so lucky to be chosen to win one of these prizes and she said that my name was drawn from a pool of names of people who had stayed at a Red Roof Inn Motel

After a moment I said to her " oh yeah I remember that place. I want there to have really hot sex with my boyfriend"

Lol she didn't say anything and I hung up the phone.

I just now got done quitting Paypal. I got up Tuesday a.m., our bank had 2 pending transactions, transferring 2 large (to us) chunks of money to PayPal. I called them right away and they were able to stop it. This morning, I had PayPal send me a check the balance I have there and close the account out. Changing my passwords and other info on credit cards (and getting rid of some), and on our checking and banking accounts. Very scary what people can do. The weeks before, someone ordered a $450 processor for a computer using my Amazon credit card number and had it shipped to me, which makes no sense at all. I refused delivery and also called the bank the Amazon card was attached to. What is up with folks.

I think it's better to link Paypal to a credit card rather than a bank account.

I had some guys last month emailed me saying he had pornographic photos and videos of me and if I didn't buy $10,000 worth of bitcoin and send it to him he was going to send the photos to my parents and my coworkers.

Wanted to email back asking "which photo" LMAO
