Common PayPal Scam?
I got an email from PP sent at 06:12 today, saying that I sent a mobile payment for £81.44 to a lady I had never heard of and that “A message has been sent to the recipient asking to accept or refuse the payment”.
I assume “mobile” means mobile phone but I have never done this and indeed only then realised it was possible.
The email includes two links, one to my account history and the other to correct errors. Both begin but on connection only have on the screen after logging in, although the word “secure” and a lock icon appear lower down. The second opened with the message that security details had to be confirmed first. Since these included my credit card I declined.
I sent an email to PP at 08:57 telling them it was a false transaction but I have no reply so far, at 13:57. The credit card phone number gets only a “waiting” response but no debit of the amount has yet been made.
Is this a common scam with PayPal? It is new to me.
