Bogus PayPal Lawsuit Info Pages
from the scam-the-gullible-folks dept
It's well known that PayPal fraud is a big problem. So, it seems that some folks have decided that PayPal users are pretty gullible and worth scamming out of money. Last week we spoke about a class action lawsuit against PayPal. Now the law firm that put it together is saying that a number of bogus information sites about the lawsuit have been put up - including some that try to charge people money to gain info about the lawsuit (the article jokes about whether or not those sites accept PayPal for payment).
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
