Hi,
Thanks for your helpful info, Rich! I received similar email from "pay pal"; seller: Cheryl Blake from Dover, DE. Purchase of Digimax 130 for the same amount as people above. Didn't follow dispute resolution link because I thought it was a virus.
Thanks again,

Tolik

Same as above, we received one from Cheryl Blake as well. This article was the 1st link I opened looking for info on what a Digimax 130 is….saved me investigative time.

Big thanks.

My son received the same email for the DigiMax 130 from Cheryl Blake as well. Doing a quick web search, brought me to this page….
Very timely.

Cheers.

Jerry

Cheryl's getting around. I googled "digimax 300" and I found this link. I was very glad that I found it. Thanks!

Cheryl is still with us! I received the PayPal/digimax email today – it looked very convincing but didn't "feel" right. Very glad to have found this link!

I got mine too! I got mine just today and thought my children ordered something! I was freaking out..happy to see this is a scam and found you.

Just got the same email today from a Cheryl Blake, too.

Got the same message from a Cheryl Blake and the EBay purchase of 48.75,I contacted PayPal and they advised they will use your name if they contact you,not hello Paypal member.Also called my bank and cancelled my bank card.

Almost fell for this one too. They are getting so real, it's hard to tell the SCAM from the legit. Had to look up what a Digimax 130 was and found this blog. Checked my bank account and was relieved to discover it was all a scam. Beware! Thoroughly check everything before clicking on any e-mail that seems fishy. Luckily I never buy anything on e-bay so I was suspicious.

1-23-08 daisysdream@yahoo.com also tried to pay for a Digimax 130. I didn't click anything in the email, but did go to paypal.com and forwarded the email to spoof@paypal.com and did get an email back from them stating "Thanks for taking an active role by reporting suspicious-looking emails.
The email you forwarded to us is a phishing email, and our security team is working to disable it."
I found this blog by googling digimax130, also.
Thanks for all the comments.

02-04-08, My boss received this email from daisydream101@yahoo.com, with Pamela Weppner as the ebay user name. He doesn't have a Paypal account, so he forwarded the email to me. A quick Google search sent me here.

Thank you for the info!

I just recieved this e-mail today. Beware of it.

I received an email from "daisydream101@yahoo.com" with the same "Pamela Weppner as the ebay user name. I "do not" have or never have had an account at Paypal. I thought it was strange that they said I owed money for some camera for some person I don't know!!! I clicked the dispute button and my computer informed me it was invalid website. I googled for the camera and found this blog. Thanks for the info. Can't trust anyone!!! Their always coming up with new ways to scam people out of their cash!!!

I just sent a copy of this email to spoof@paypal.com and then I googled the item and came upon this site. I'm sure glad I didn't open anything in it or reply or try to dispute the thing. Man, people will try anything to make a buck or two!

Thanks for 'watchin' my back… hope I can return the favor sometime!

This person is probabaly enjoying their noterity. My question is why doesen't Pay Pal the "secure site" that it says it is protect or block ID's that have given people problems or are deemed as phishing?

I too got this and opened it and now I don't know if I should cancel my credit card. Anybody there to give me advice?

Helga,

Just opening it won't do anything, but if you logged into a fake PayPal site you may want to contact PayPal and change your username/password.

FYI, its still around. The name used was Rebecca Farrow. I just got the same Digimax 130 email but addressed from "Paypal [account@secure.com]" and reported it to Paypal. Then I saw your page. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for posting this. Yep, my husband got the same email today using the Digimax 130 and saying the buyer was Rebecca Farrow. The sad thing too is that there really is a Rebecca Farrow on ebay since 2003. She is a victim too. Per some recent info I just read, Don't ever click on a link in a suspicious email as it could install malware on your computer without you realizing it. That could open your computer up to ID theft as it searches for financial info such as credit card numbers, etc.
I contacted PayPal today and found that one key to a scam email is that PayPay uses your complete name and doesn't address you, like this email, as Dear PayPal Member.

I just got the Rebecca Farrow one in my work e-mail. I think we got it because we use Pay Pal for membership and merchandise payment to our organization.

We received the same "rebeccafarrow" e-mail today. Thanks for having a "scam" link under digimax search. That's how I found this out. We do have pay pal, and have had problems with fraud in the past, so I was extremely concerned. Thanks for giving us all the straight scoop.

Now "Perry Alvin" is selling this same Digimax 130. Don't worry about your c/c info, etc., since our user who received this email doesn't even have a Paypal account, and never has. So it is phishing, and your c/c and Paypal account are not really at risk.

I received the same one from "Perry Alvin" for$57.85. Goldthwaite, Tx.
Thanks for the 'scam link' under
Digimax 130 google search.

I got that same email, and I was getting really frustrated, then I saw this webpage, you're a life saver!

I just recieved this email today, and my paypal account is actually limited now. It states that there was unauthorized use with my account and it is now limited. Is this all a complete scam and phishing or is some of it actually true where this person/person(s) has our info?
