PAY PAL SCAM ALERT Scammers are watching our Classifieds

We have some scammer watching the Classifieds So be Careful
Got an Payment Received notice for the amount that I listed an item on classifieds for the amount listed, but I didn't talk to anyone about the item, When you further look at the email the links would load or take you to fake pages or downloads. Don't be fooled by links they can say anything
Some Advice
Never click on an emailed paypal notice, instead go directly to your paypal account and check your statuses and balances directly.

Just an FYI Folks
Thanks
Willie

Great advice!

Another suggestion would be to not post your email address in the classified ad post. You can use private messages to send that info.

I have two emails, one dedicated for PayPal. I never show the PP email until I've been in touch with a buyer and know that money is on the way.

Then, I check my PP account to see if the money is there. I don't ship anything until the money is in my PP account.
