I have been getting a few of these per week for the past couple of years. It’s really frustrating as the payment request comes from PayPal so won’t be flagged as spam, and there’s no way to “unsubscribe” because you get the email whether you have a PayPal account or not. I keep forwarding them to phishing@paypal.com and nothing happens. At this point, I would definitely consider PayPal to be complicit.
- millzlane 3y agoData is everything in 2023. Paypal absolutely knows exactly how much money they are getting from these types of emails. It shouldn't be much work to find that in their sent folder.
- plagiarist 3y agoFor every email, I would send an abuse complaint to the registrar on their whois lookup, which right now is Markmonitor [0]. I have done this to get one spammy website's emails shut off before, when they weren't including unsubscribe links. Of course they were back on their same bullshit weeks later, but I was able to unsubscribe successfully. IDK, maybe PayPal is too powerful or whatever they're doing here is technically legal, but it is worth a shot.
