Hi!
I put up my laptop for sale on the swedish site "Blocket.se" and the next day I got an email from a woman in London who wanted to buy it.
I was asked to send my PayPal account name or bank account info. I sent her my PayPal account name.
I then received this email in my spam-folder.
I instantly understood that it was a scam-attempt since the sender of the email was [email protected] and I don't think that PayPal would use another host to send their email.
Reported this to PayPal...
