PayPals Unauthorized Transaction Spam

You should always take care of email spam stories like those you're reading here at No Way to Spam Blog. PayPal has its own measures to help you define email frauds.

Two emails spam about PayPal dropped together at the same time into my box. I deleted them immediately and then tracked them from my deleted files folder. As I have suspected, the two emails have different emailing sources although they are about the same issue you will read here below.
