I get those almost every week.

I get those almost every week.

Yes, on a weekly basis at least. Whenever I get anything like that I view the source where you can see the actual URL for the link in the email. If it's not a legitimate address for the company thats sending the email, I always forward it to thier fraud department.

Funny thing is, seems like they don't do anything because the emails keep coming, and ussually from the same place...

Funny thing is.. I have never received one of these emails.

I receive them almost every week. I got scared the first time, but then I went to my paypal account and it was OK, so I realized this was some sort of a scam.

Besides talking to paypal and ebay(I get ebay emails all the time) I talk to the hosting company.

 

[domaintalk]

I get this every 2 days.
I know some people who have fallen into this but now this is too common that no one believes.
