Anyone been hit with the PayPal scam?

[Wailua Boy]

I just got a Email from supposedly PayPal notifying me of a dispute on my account with a PayPal link. Having just yesterday completed a PayPal transaction clicked on the link which connected me to PayQal.com. The site looks identical to PayPal but if you log in, your account would be compromised. ,

They tried to get me too. Like you I caught on before anything happened. Always be suspicious.

I received a similar email stating "click here to complete your paypal transaction" or something along those lines. I instantly thought 'scam' as I dont even have a paypal account. Not sure if thats related to your incident, but figured worth mentioning.

I've gotten these in the past. Never click on the link provided. Always go to the site by typing in the address yourself if you're suspicious.

Im normally fairly suspicious but they kind of got me this time. I didn't input any info but they did get one click out of me, hopefully my firewall catches anything. I did forward the Email to PayPal's fraud unit.

Paypal is good about getting after these turds. After I received the email I forwarded it to them and they said they pursue all of these aggressively. Definitely don't respond to anything you receive in your own email account, go to their webpage and contact their customer support about any issues when they show up. They will let you know whether they are legit.

I got one a long time that was months after I used it.

Just the other day I got an IRS phone call scam where they said they were going to sue me(it went to voice mail as I didn't answer it).
