Paypal confusion??

macymoo

I have received an email from Paypal services saying I have received an payment of $63 US Dollars from some bloke I have never heard of and I need to accept or deline this within 30 days. There is a payment ref number but I don't know how to trace this???

1) I have not sold anything
2) Payment not showing on my paypal account

What shall I do???
HELP??

BEWARE This is most likely a scam email. Only log in to your PayPal account by manually entering the PayPal address in your browser, never follow the link given in such emails.

I had the exactly same email this morning. The amount was for $63 US dollars.

The email links you to a phishing website, so don't enter any passwords.
If anybody has entered their details contact paypal and change your password asap.

Definitely a phishing scam Always log in to your account manually and not through links in mails. Check there if the amount has been placed in your "incoming" list and if it IS and you know nothing of this payment then decline it. If they are genuine they will contact you to arrange the payment again

never be tempted by these emails. Only log into paypal by manually going to the site. If nothing's showing as having been paid into your paypal account then you haven't received any money.
