Check your spam folder, it might still be there =) I usually look at the intro of the email if it addresses my by my complete name. Most official emails I get from PayPal addresses me by my complete name. If I'm still suspicious, I check the exact details where the mail came from.

Guest f5mtadas Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Here is the trick "@paypaI.com" it is not the same as PayPal.com I was hacked in PayPal, but without any problem my fund was returned in 5 biz days by PayPal. The hacker just stole my acc login details and made transaction to him account and paypal catched it. I think paypal an alertpay are most savest payments methods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
