delete them, put up a filter and send them straight to trash, they are all phishing emails, trying to steal ur personal info.

You have to have at least one card on file in order to keep your PayPal account active. The same is true for Ebay.\nYou can close your account if you want of course.

First it is paypal not palpal, login at paypal.com and look up your balance. If you do not remember your password you will have to go through the normal steps, enter the info you know, they e-mail it to the e-mail addy on record.\nGood Luck

Are you sure you didn't accidentally answer a phish email that looked legit?  Many of the phoney ebay and paypal emails now look so real that many have been duped into giving info they don't remember giving.

I have used eBay and PayPal for over four years now and have never been scammed as a buyer or seller (well, sometimes people win an item and then don't pay, but never ship anything  until you're paid).  I have no fear working with either eBay or PayPal.  Just keep your passwords private.  \n\nYou can generally tell if it's a real message if you receive it right after you completed a transaction on eBay or PayPal.  Also, real emails will never ask you to enter a passwork.  You can also tell it's fake if a link takes you to a web site that does not start with https://www.paypal.com (note the 's' in https://').  Phish emails are actually quite easy to ID.

Delete it please....It's a big scam.    The UK lottery do not have details of anyone's email address, you purchase a ticket either in a shop or online.   If you haven't entered for the UK lottery, then there's no way you could have won.    Those who reply to this scam, end up with an empty bank account - so please do not respond to them and delete any other future emails from these scammers.

It sounds like an email that you received which is a scam. You should only play the lottery if you are in the UK and you buy a lottery ticket.\n\nPaying charges is definitely a no no!\n\nIf you get emails asking you to send money, ignore all of them.\n\nTo check, pick out some of the key words or phrases in the email and search google. Then you will have a better idea who else is getting the same email and whether it's a scam

I hope you have kept the Email as evidence and report them to Ebay - it may take time.  Also what you could is their email address is registred under their ISP e.g. btinternet.com you can attempt to report them to their ISP - I would.  It is also harrassment even it is by Email - no different by mobile text, or letter or by person.\n\nTip: To prevent further spam, I would edit my user name on here, as you are showing your email address, mine did that 2 and changed it.

The problem is, emails can be easily spoofed (i.e., made to look as if they're coming from a certain account, even if they're not).  It's a flaw of the SMTP protocol.  There's really not much you can do about it.  Change your pw in case someone actually has access to your acct, but that's probably NOT the case.  It's probably just spoofing.

Probably phishing.  Try to log into your account normally, without clicking on the link in the email.

This is standard practice - especially if you're changing your e-mail address to one of the 'free' ones.\n\nhttp://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/newtoebay/RegisterVerifyOrEmail.html\n\nYou've said you initiated the process so there is nothing to worry about here.\n\nWith any e-mail from eBay you can check the message as someone else suggested, but it should also be present if you log in directly to eBay and look under your messages.

if they're not to your exact address, but have a similar screenname as you, then it's most likely spam. i've gotten emails like that and it's always about "work at home and make millions!" etc. just add it to your spam. next time you see an email sender's address that looks funny, don't open it because it will tell the sender that your address is still active and you'll just get more and more!!

Do Not Panic!\nIf you respond to these SPOOF emails, that's when they get you.\nThey are bluffing & want some of your personal information.\nDO NOT RESPOND!\nGo to ebay's community & you'll get your answers there.\n\nAnd if you have a number for ebay... I would love to have it! \nAs far as I know, eBay doesn't have telephone numbers. Everything is done via internet. [it's an internet service] \n\nDo not call anyone [ebay] & do not give any information to NO ONE!\n\n\nGood Luck!

I take it that you got that in a SPAM e-mail. I can spot that cr@p a MILE away!!! Delete it and do NOT use it!!!!!\n\nThat is Phishing. Phishing is a way scam artists get your personal info for the act of Identitiy Theft. You NEVER EVER open an e-mail from anyone you do not know!!!! Unsolicited e-mails are SPAM. SPAM contains that Phishing thing as well as spreads computer viruses and other types of mal-ware such as spyware. "Spoofed" e-mail is another type of spam that pretends to be from a reputable source, but in reality is NOT and is USUALLY a form of Phishing. In addition, going to websites like that can infect your computer, too!!!\n\n___*READ*___!!!::::\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/phishing...\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/identity_th...\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/email_spoof...\n\nhttp://spam.abuse.net/overview/whatisspa...\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/spyware...\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/computer_vi...\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/technet/securit...\n\nBTW: if you get any mail from Yahoo that is questionable forward it to: spoof@yahoo.com\n\nEbay has a similar address to send questionable emals "from them" to: spoof@ebay.com\n\nThe same with PayPal: spoof@paypal.com \n\nThe next one of those you get report it to PayPal and then NEVER open spam AGAIN!!!

It is a scam. If you receive emails that might be scams the best way to check is perform a search for the subject with the word "scam" or "warning"
