Where to report Paypal Scam? (1 Viewer)

[DeathStar1]

OK folks, I just received the email pasted below, and would like to report this obvious scam to Paypal Officials. There's got to be someway to get this person reported, but I don't know if [email protected] would work.
Any ideas? Below is the email I received..
Thanks!
>>To all PayPal Members:
I would not normally do or send you this type of message, but I am sending this to you for the
following reasons ONLY:
MANY PayPal Members have little to no balance in their accounts. I THINK this is a way for those with low PayPal Accounts
to get SOME money into them...easily...with the risk of $1.
NOW HERE'S THE DEAL:
************************************************** **********************************************
You can have hundreds of dollars in short order
in your PayPal Account.
This is a completely anonymous and private program;
A self-liquidating loan NOT run by any one person.
Send $1.00 to the PayPal Email Account in the number
one (#1) position. Then delete the email in the (#1)
position and move every email up one line. Then, put
your email address in the (#3) position and send this
to as many RESPONSIBLE people as you can.
Risk $1.00 and SEE.
************************************************** **********************************************
1. [email protected]
2. [email protected]
3. [email protected]
"SEND $1.00 (1 dollars) to the (#1) Email ONLY". Then, move every email up (1) position - (#1 being removed).
Put Your Email Address, (that your PayPal Account is under), in the (#3) position. Then, email to responsible
people who want some very EASY cash. Easy huh?
Once you have completed the steps, send an blank email to the person in the (#3) position with subject:
"Thanks, I've Joined". This will help everyone keep track of their progress.
Now is the time to re-build your PayPal Account with borrowed money. Loans that are self-liquidating over time.
IMPORTANT: This is FAIL PROOF... I assure you that... (Anything OTHER than instructed above will NOT work).
Really... DO IT RIGHT, or don't bother.
Don't have a PayPal Account? You receive an instant $5 for signing up, and $5 per referral for all those who open a PayPal Account
under YOUR affiliate link.
Get YOUR Account now, Go To:
https://www.paypal.com/refer/pal=3GPB5HYYSWPRW
Try it and see your Paypal Account in SERIOUS CREDIT.
*Note*
If for some reason the (#1) persons account is unable to accept payments, do NOT let this stop you from
participating. Everyone is responsible for their own PayPal Account. Simply follow the instructions as if
a payment was made.
Best Regards,>>

PayPal has a section in it where you can report buyer fraud, if you have an account. If you don't, you probably can use the general privacy complaing form.

I cant get the link to work, but if you follow the privacy link off the bottom of the page, then the "contacting us" section. There is a link to the form to submit your complaint.

In my past dealings with paypal, they do read all their mail and respond within a week or so.

And I think its great you're reporting this. People often aren't smart enough to know that pyramid schemes never work.

I say let them learn the hard way. Anyone who would even consider sending a dollar to a random account because of some spam deserves to lose it.

I had I roomate try the pyramid scheme in college, but he used snail mail, and had to stuff hundreds of envelopes. After all was said and done he got maybe $2 from a couple of gulible people like himself.

[email protected] works fine. Send it there.
