    ppscam.jpg

    And thats not all, the senders email was memberverifyproof@post.com

    + Paypal usaly has something like webform@paypal.ie

    So this defenetly is a scam as i can see?

    I can surely reply by sending a picture of a big Penor ?

    Log into your Paypal account, and you'll see that the payment isn't there.

    You have to laugh at the email addresses these guys use too. memberverifyproof@... Oh look, it says it's verified! That must be genuine.
