NEW Online scam??????
-
I just received an email that arrived in my junk folder from Paypal. They asked me to confirm and order. It's from [email protected].
They asked me to confirm if i had purchased a Dell PC which costs 699 USD and the delivery address is to someone in the states. They told me that if i didn't make this transaction, i should provide my details online for them to verify....
IS THIS A SCAM!!??
