Hello,
I received a typical paypal email today and wanted to ask this question of the group before looking too deep into the matter. I normally get at least one a day in my personal account. This is normal. Two weeks ago I setup a new account for purchasing stuff through my company. This new account is in the form of billingforebay@mydomain.com. Not a name the end user would guess real easily. I have setup the email address through paypal but have yet to use it for the purchase of anything.
Today I received a 139 point paypal spam to this new account. Is there any possibilities that these email lists are originating from within paypal? I have yet to approach paypal regarding this. Every time I have called them in the past they just kick out that these spammers are either screen scraping to get information or sending things out to random addresses. Though it’s possible, it’s high improbably in this case as we have an account that get’s undeliverables and that account has never received any spam until after the signing up on paypal.
Just looking for feedback to determine what course of actions should be taken.
Gary
