Paypal Problem.. Anyone ever have this Happen???

I just got this email from Paypal..

Dear James,

It has come to our attention that you may be the recipient of potentially
unauthorized funds. We have initiated an investigation into this event. In the
meantime, we have placed a temporary hold on the funds in question until the
investigation is complete. This temporary hold will show as a deduction in your
available balance. In the meantime, you are free to continue transacting using
your PayPal account.


Transaction Date: Feb. 8, 2006 12:04:49 PST
Transaction Amount: $195.00 USD
Payor's Email: *************@yahoo.com





If you have not delivered the goods or services related to this transaction, we
ask that you delay or stop delivery until our investigation is complete as you
may be liable for the amount in question.

To assist us in our investigation, please send an email to pending_reversal@paypal.com
with the following information:

1. The item, service or purpose of the purchase, and the associated value;
2. The name and address given to you by the sender (if an item was purchased);
3. If shipped, the company used for shipping, date of shipment, and tracking
number for the shipment;
4. Details of any other transactions related to the transaction(s) in question;
5. A phone number where you can be reached during the day and evening; and
6. Insurance information, if applicable.

Any additional information you have regarding this transaction, such as email
correspondence, will further help us to expedite our investigation. Solving
these cases helps us continue to offer PayPal as a secure and cost-effective
payment service. We appreciate your cooperation and assistance.

Sincerely,
PayPal Account Review Team

This is a scam! Do not click on the link! Go to the Paypal website and look at your account there. I guarantee you there will not be a change. If you click on the link they will ask for account and password if you do. Then they will have access to your account!

Yes what he said.

Go ahead and forward the email to Paypal spoof@paypal.com, Do NOT change anything in the header or body of the email, they are usually really quick answering these emails.

That's never happened to me, but I'm always worried about it. I tell you, Paypal are scammers themselves, by taking your money like that.

I hope you didn't sent the package, because if so, you'll most likely lose out on the item you sold and the money Paypal stole from you. I don't know how you can fight this, because it appears that someone used a stolen credit card for this transaction.

When I get e-mails from Paypal, they always use my name. That's really the only way that I know that it's real. The scam Paypal e-mails always start off as "Dear customer".

I get those scam ones a lot too in my emails, just i know when they dont say my first and last name.

Plus i never ever ever click a link in a email, even if its real. I go straight to the site and log in and or call paypal to confirm what ever is in the email.
