Another Scam...

Opened my email today and had one that read,

Dear PayPal Member, This email confirms that you have paid Debbie's RC World, Inc., (eric@de....iesrcworld.com) $28.99 USD using PayPal.

This credit card transaction will appear on your bill as "PAYPAL, DICK'S Sporting*".

Then goes on to say, "If you have not authorized this charge, click the link below to cancel the payment and get a full refund.

THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE FULL REFUND IS TO GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD DATA!

Beware!!

Never respond to any e-mail from e-Bay, PayPal, Bank of America, what ever. It is called phishing. They send you an e-mail saying your account has been frozen, someone charged something to your account, ect. The link you use on that e-mail goes to a web page that looks just like the real thing. It's a way for them to get your financial & personal information.

They are all 100% scams, 100% of the time.

Don't even open them! You confirm to them your e-mail address is legitimate.
