dispute transaction

[negative vibes]

I just received a notice from paypal that confirms that I have paid a computer company $300.00USD and is shipping to a man in Maine.

I never made this purchase and on the message from service@paypal.com there is a "Dispute Transaction" spot, but it requires me to put in my credit card number. This is Not what I want to happen.

What can I do???

It's not sent from PayPal! It's a phishing scam where the scammers wants you to click on the link in the mail and enter your confidential information like credit card numbers and log-in details.

If it says "Dear member", "Dear costumer" or "Dear email@adress.com", the mails are always scams. The scammers send out thousands of these emails, and don't know your name. That's why they call you "member" or "customer" instead. Some scammers have programs that calls you by your email address instead.
