얼마전 노트북을 이베이에 올려 보았습니다.

얼마 지나지않아 5~6통의 오퍼 메일이 오더군요. 시장가보다 터무니 없는 높은 금액을 제시하면서 말이지요…

이 사연들이 가관입니다. 미션트립중인 목사가 딸한테 보내고 싶다, 아들의 생일이 얼마 남지 않았다, 클라이언트한테 5일안에 보내주어야 한다..등등.

그리곤 얼마지나지 않아 Paypal로 돈을 지불 하였으니,물건을 보내라고 합니다. “아프리카”로요. 주로 나이지리아 더군요.

또 잠시후 Paypal에서 메일을 보내 옵니다. 입금완료 되었고 트래킹 넘버를 메일로 보내주면 저의 어카운트로 바로 송급될거라면서요.

근데 이 메일이 정말로 페이팔에서 보내는 메일과 정말 유사하더군요.. 낙관이나 메일 포멧등이요..

아래는 그중 하나입니다.

심심해서 페이팔에 문의 해보았습니다.
답변은 “이런 문구가 들어가 있는 경우는 정상적인 페이팔로 부터의 트랜잭션이 아니다 입니다.”..

참고하세요..
