It had no name in the to field and an attached form requesting account details. DEFINITELY A SCAM.
I regularly receive scam emails claiming to be from banks but this is my first from PayPal.
So 'Be Alert, Not Alarmed', just like the fridge magnet says and don't get caught out.

I've seen that PayPal scam type email quite a few times over the last year or so but not in the last couple of months.

Congratulations! INWC. To secure these funds I ask you to make a small holding deposit to cover bank fee to secure this. I am acting as agent for lottery and would be happy to deliver funds directly in cash, however I am working on an oil rig for past few days.Originally Posted by It'sNotWorthComplaining!
I haven't got one of those, but
Please send holding deposit of US$ 6897.34 to me and I will refund with cash when your funds are released.
