    If it asks you to log in through the e-mail, or give any account details,NO,NO,NO!! :eek:

    I had one a few weeks ago. But I did not respond, just incase.
    Does it say Dear Member or your full name. Paypal will only use your Full name on e-mails.
    It's only a survey. I would not risk a responce.

    I thought as much, I wasnt going to do it anyways, just wanted to make sure before I sent it on.

    It does address me by my first name, and says that they will never ask for personal data ect.

    Anyone have the spoof place where you forward it too?

    If it addresses you by your name, it may be OK, but get it checked first at: spoof@paypal.co.uk :beer:

    I did a survey on paypal the other day when I logged on to my account. Make sure you go through the paypal website to check, dont log on through any links in the email. It could be genuine but always stay on the safe side ...

    Personally I wouldn't waste my time on those scumbags at PayPal anyway. It's not as if they're paying you for your time anyway. Best just to delete the email and then you'll have nothing to worry about.

    Hiya Wanty :o
    I did one of the surveys by paypal last week,it was a feedback survey due to them refunding a buyer who said they did not receive goods sent to them, evening though I sent it recorded with a tracking number.
    So I filled it in to let off steam telling them how rubbish paypal is :mad: .
    So if You have had any dealings with paypal recently it will a feedback and You should be ok to fill it in. :beer:
  • hi i get them all the time dont bother filling them in
