Paypal class action eMail
In these days of e-mail scams, hoaxes and spoofs, its very difficult to trust emails from anyone who wishes to part with a lot of money. Remember the Nigerian e-mail scam and how it fooled a lot of gullible people or the hoax mails from banks or PayPal.
These hoaxes played on...
- People's fears by cautioning them about a security policy update that required them to send personal information.
- or people's greed by offering them vast amounts of money in exchange for a small initial investment on their part.
What people do not know is that they can avoid getting fooled in this manner by carrying a few elementary checks on the Internet.
- The simplest way is to cut 'n paste the subejct of the email they've received in the search box of our favourite search engine. More often than not you'll come across a search result that leads you to a page which has more information on whether that email you received was a hoax or genuine (These emails are, almost always, discussed on online forums.)
- Another method is to go to the official website of the organization that the email has purportedly come from. Once there, find out a contact email address and forward the e-mail you've received to that address asking them to confirm if the e-mail is genuine.
- The best way is to go to the Urban Legends Reference Page and search if there is any information available there. Usually, you'll find reliable information there stating if the e-mail is genuine or a hoax.
This morning, when I checked my inbox, I found an e-mail from PayPal. It was titled, "Notice of Pendency of Class Action and Proposed Settlement". It referred to a class action suit against PayPal (Case No. 02 1227 JF PVT, pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California in San Jose) which alleged that PayPal had violated the federal Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) by not disclosing to its customers, dispute resolution procedures. As a result, any PayPal members who had joined the service between Oct 1999 and Jan 2004 were entitled to Injunctive and Monetary Relief and should go to https://www.paypal.com/settlement/ (which is redirected to http://www.settlement4onlinepayments.com/).
I was naturally suspicious about this e-mail. So I 'Googled' for it and found vague references to it on various online forums. Most of these forums indicated that this was a genuine case and I also got a link to a news item about the PayPal class action suit. To be doubly sure that this was not a case of someone using the class action suit to scam PayPal customers, I went to the PayPal site (which is https://www.paypal.com ... please note the https) and found a helpful e-mail address (spoof@paypal.com). I forwarded the e-mail, I had received, to this address asking them to advise if it was genuine. To my surprise, in just about a couple of minutes, I received a reply from them (obviously an autoresponder)... the contents of which read...
Dear Sameer,
Thank you for contacting PayPal.
Thank you for bringing the "Notice of Pendency of Class Action and Proposed Settlement¨ email to our attention. We can confirm that PayPal sent this email. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
...
Straight from the horse's mouth! Now that settled the matter for me. :-)
In case you're not still convinced and want to be triply sure... have a look at this.

If you market or use an email autoresponder you're probably not doing this right now.
Why?
Because rss is taking over the internet and if you don't have an rss autoresponder you may be losing ground.

THE FREE SEO TOOL FOR 2007!!
--------------------------------------------------------
Hi matey
I'm sure it was your blog I was reading a while ago where someone was after the name of the online marketing/promotional website that gives you free links back to yours and increases your website/blog traffic.
I asked the techi guy at work and he managed to find it - or one that is definitely similar.........and works!! The program is called the Link Referral Program 2007 and is free to sign up. Basically you agree to place a button on your webpage and you visit other websites to generate traffic for your own.
I signed up a couple of weeks ago because I have a website affiliate project x. In no time my traffic exploded and my affiliate sales have gone through the roof!!
The knock-on effect of this is my website has increased to the top page of Google and I'm getting more sales than ever before!! Don't miss out - Linkreferral.com -
Always pleased to help, the anonymous tipster!!
Remember to share marketing and promotional tips with your blog pals!!
Especially when they are FREE!! ;-)

Hi matey
I'm sure it was this blog I was reading a while back where someone was looking for an SEO tool for driving more traffic and get more hits for their website.
Anyway, I was speaking to a techi guy at work who gets to know all the latest stuff and he uses the free Link Referral Program at http://marketingexperts.wordpress.com.
His website on affiliate make money online program ways amongst other stuff has seen traffic explode since he started using the Link Referral Program - consequently his affiliate sales commissions and business sales went through the roof PLUS his website increased in google ranking which was an added bonus!!
If anyone else has any good ideas for driving more traffic to blogs/websites then please share with your online business blog buddies. Ta ;-)
