Reciept of your payment…
Yet another phishing email... these guys are cleaver... I'll give them that, a few things could have made this a much better attempt but I'm not going to point out their mistakes to help them out... instead, here's yet another email to be on the lookout for.
| Dear PayPal Member,
This email confirms that you have paid LWPELECTRONICS (sales@lwpelectronics.com) $474.99 USD using PayPal. This credit card transaction will appear on your bill as "PAYPAL LWPELECTRONICS*".
If you haven't authorized this charge, click the link below to cancel the payment and get a full refund.

Quite well done, no? Oh well, it's there for your viewing pleasure (Disclaimer: Don't be an idiot and provide information to any of the links you follow in it).
Peace,

I just received an identical e-mail yesterday 3-21-07 from paypal that I have paid lwpelectronics $239.95 for a cell phone. It was being shipped to Bill Chang in Me.. I have not ordered anything and I did not authorize the payment for anyone else!!! This is fraud. I filed the appropriate complaints and an investigation is underway.

I received a phish scam too regarding lwpelectronics for a cell phne purchase, shipped to: Bil Chnag of Magnolia St Saco Maine. It’s a fraudulent PAYPAL account message telling me that someone has charged against my paypal account-a Nokia cell phone totalling about $300. iI
It’s a scam and it starts out with “Dear Paypal Member” (that is a red flag)
I am followng up and will investigate further.
I have pursued scams before and managed to get law local law enforcement involved and eventually busted them, and person lost her job.
