Spoof email - I put in the wrong place last time

 I have been trying to confirm my bank account for a while. I tried again yesterday to get some help. Last night I got an e-mail from paypal saying that she was doing something to confirm my bank account and I would be notified within 72 hours. So, I was like .. great. Finally someone is helping me.      Then this morning, I got an e-mail from a bank claiming to associated with paypal. The link  in the e-mail redirected to a website that asks for very personal information. So, I closed it. Then I forwarded the e-mail to spoof @ paypal.com - they responded saying with the 'You're right!  This was a phishing attempt'' or whatever the exact words are.. So, I was nervous about that, and I was thinking.. How does the person who sent this phishing e-mail know that I'm trying to confirm my bank account with paypal? Or was it a coincidence? Then I let it go and forgot about it. Then I had a phone call, no voicemail was left and I had missed it. I googled the number and it was associated with paypal according to a bunch of people who aren't really reliable sources.  Then not long after the phone call, I got another e-mail from paypal (webform @ paypal.com)  saying that he had tried to call me to help me confirm my bank account, and I should call him back to set it up. I called, but in the meantime, I got suspicious because of the first e-mail/phishing attempt from that mornign - so while on hold on the phone, I forwarded that e-mail to spoof @ paypal.com to see if it checked out as legit. Seeing how I was calling these people to confirm my bank and I would probably have to give sensitive information. I got the e-mail back from spoof, and it said AGAIN that the new e-mail was a phishing attempt - the e-mail that told me to call the people I was on hold with right then. I replied to that e-mail from spoof @ paypal.com and I said: Are you sure? I'm on the phone waiting on hold for someone now. I really
need to get my bank account verified.. If this is a legit call then I
really need to do it. And I already gave the last 4 digits of my social
security number. This is the second e-mail that I've gotten saying it's
a phishing attempt. How did they get my number if it's a scam? They
called me first[later on, paypal replied to ^my reply and identified my reply as a phishing attempt, too... yeah.. seriously...] So, a customer service guy picked up the line, and I didn't know what to do at that point. I didn't know what to say to him, so I just tried to explain what had kind of happen and asked him to somehow verify that he is really from PayPal. It was going around in circles and I was trying to explain it to him.. like.. ''Yeah, the e-mail does look legit, but PayPal just told me that the e-mail that told me to call YOU is a scam attempt.. meaning you're the scammer.. Because the scam e-mail told me to call you.. and here we are.'' Basically..  he needed to confirm who I was before he could tell me anything and I needed to confirm who he was before I would tell him anything. He offered to forward me to the fraud department and I was like .. wait, but if you're a scammer then what good is the ''fraud department'' going to do for me? and he was like, if I'm a scammer then why would I connect you  to the fraud department.. and I was like anyone could claim to be the fraud department.. ya know?  Anyway..  I confirmed the piece of information that he wanted because that was going nowhere. and because the info wasn't something majorly sensitive.. so that he could then confirm to me who he was.. I guess.. So, after that, I asked him to confirm something from my paypal and he did. and he told me all the information on my PayPal account, and he knew everything. So I said okay, I believe you that you're PayPal. We went through the bank confirmation stuff - allthewhile I still feel weird about the whole thing, plus I feel like he thinks I'm a lunatic. But I still have this little voice going, ''But why did spoof @ paypal.com say that he's phishing..?'' and ''How could they possibly identify their own e-mail as a scam...?'' Then he said my bank account was confirmed, so I was like.. Ok, let me just look while you're on the phone with me and check to see that my bank account is confirmed on my PayPal account. Because if it wasn't, there would be a big problem. My bank account WAS confirmed - something I've been trying to do for like 6 months, so I was really happy. And that was that. But here I am.... still wondering.... what just happened...????? 

Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  This will only delete the account from the phone, not from iCloud.  The other person will not be effected by this.  Then set up the correct account on your phone.

  • IPod Service Error (I posted on the wrong board last time)

    Okay, I see a lot of people are having similar problems but mine seems to be very hard to fix and I'm very very frustrated. I've had my iPod mini since late March, so it's not that old.
    First, I cannot update my iPod with new songs. It says there is no iPod connected. It only charges when I plug it in directly or on the dock. Second, I have iTunes 5.0, just so you know. Third, I cannot update my iPod software. When I try to use the latest iPod updater (and even my old one), the screen freezes, and then says "iPod Service Error". Can anybody help me? I've tried everything and am really upset. Thank you!

    hiya!
    I won't get a chance to try it until I get home tonight.
    okay, i'd better give you some more references now then.
    if you run into problems with the registry keys, with any luck some of the ideas in the ProgMan thread:

  • I put in the wrong email when creating my apple id. I changed my id on my laptop but my ipad has my old (wrong) email addrss and a password that wont let me sign in

    I just got my new I pad, entered all of my information.. after confirmingm y account I realized I had put in the wrong email address. I went on my laptop to change my apple id address, then went to my ipad to purchase an app and it still had my old(incrrect) email address. I typed in the password anyway and it would not let me sign in. I only gave it one password so I don't know why it is saying my password is incorrect. Anywho, THis ipad is a pain in the ***. NEver had a mac before and already its a pain in the ***. I have read a couple of threads that are not really helpful. I read one thread on this site that showed a lady with my similiar issue and she did not get the answer she was looking for. Can some one help me so I can change the apple I.D. on my ipad. The apple I.D. on my computer lets me sign in but not on my ipad; go figure. Good job apple. please help.

    i just opened my ipad, started my apple account/I.D. and realized I put the wrong e mail. I was having trouble correcting my I.D on the Ipad so I went to my laptop and make the proper changes/slash e mail address I wanted for my apple ID. I got back to my ipad and try to download an app I can't because I have to sign in my apple account and I can't because it still has the irrelivant I.D/email address..
    So, i did what you said.. went to setting>app store> tapped on my e mail.. it asked me to sign in (with my invalid emails address showing). I signed in with the password I had created. It said "incorrect".. I went to reset password. I reset password, tried to sign in and it says again "unvalid password".. this is getting irritating.  I have been asking and no one knows what to do.

  • Export to PDF puts trims in wrong place.

    When I export a pdf from CS3, selecting crop marks puts the trim marks in the wrong place, we are only talking 0.25 of a millimeter, but this is causing us problems sending files to publication. It seems to us that the crop marks are being made too long and this is causing everything to shift.
    A A4 page with a 5mm bleed and 5mm crop marks comes out as 230.6 x 317.6.
    If I print the page and select a custom size, InDesign is also giving to wrong size.
    The same error occurs in CS2 and CS4.
    Has anyone else come across this?
    If I make the file without crop marks everything is ok.

    I have found a solution, use a mrk file as this link

You could also contact some of the other MSI sponsored teams, and look to join them, or ask them how they became sponsored...

  • PEN TOOL PUTS DOWN THE WRONG POINTS???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    FVCKING HELL GUYS
    I'VE BEEN BlTCHlNG ABOUT THIS **** FOR HALF AN HOUR ALREADY BC WHY THE FVCK IS MY PEN TOOL PUTTING DOWN THE POINTS AT THE WRONG PLACES???!!!!!!!!!! LIKE 'I WANNA PUT A POINT RIGHT HERE AND OOPS FVCKING ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR PUT IT ON THE FAR LEFT INSTEAD'

    b,
    As John says, you may have a look at Align to Pixel Grid. You may select everything and then untick Align to Pixel Grid in the Transform palette if needed, and also untick Align New Objects to Pixel Grid in the flyout options.
    You may avoid document types with that as default (RGB for web and the like) or change the default for such documents.
    But based on your mentioning on the far left may indivate something else.
    Especially if it is something happening in any document, you may try the list.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • IPhoto - My iPhoto is not responding. When I click on iPhoto I get a never ending spinning beachball.  I almost think it is looking in the wrong place for the pictures.  How do I redirect it back to the Mac hard drive?

    My iPhoto is not responding.  Whenever I click on the iPhoto icon I get a twirling beachball.  It is as if the machine is looking in the wrong place for the photos.  How can I see where the machine is looking to find out if this is really the problem.  How can I see the path?

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it doesn't then the problem lies with your current library.
    If that's the case  Apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • TS1368 My child has put in the wrong password on my phone multiple times, my iPhone now says "iPhone is disabled connect to iTunes", But when I try to connect to iTunes on my laptop it says unable to connect due to a password is on the phone? What do I do

    My child has put in the wrong password on my phone multiple times, my iPhone now say "iPhone has been disabled connect to iTunes" When I hook my phone up to iTunes, iTunes then says that my iPhone can not be hooked up to iTunes because it has a password on it, but will not allow me to put in a password because the disabled message is still showing. What is the next step?

    You may need to put the iPhone into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the phone and restore/resync your content to it.

  • I have been editing project for two weeks and now I get ghosts of other images fromt eh project coming up in the wrong places even though the thumbnail looks right. Help.

    Help. I have been editing a project for two weeks and now it gets ghosts of ohter images from the project coming up in the wrong places. The thumbnail has the correct image but the image either does not display and its black or an old image or another one shows.

    When I have problems like this I do two things. First I shut down and restart iMovie. Sometimes that rejuggles the date. But I am sure you have been doing that in such a long project.
    The Second thing I do is delete iMovie preferences, which can get corrupted.

  • Pretend I know nothing about this topic, because I DON'T, and help me figure out how to format bullets in 'Pages' for IPad. I turned them on somehow, and now can't turn them off, and they are popping up in all the wrong places

    I think I effectively proved my point about knowing nothing about this, by posting my whole question in the title. To review, I have a 1 year old iPad, and have Pages on it for a word processing program. I somehow turned on bullets on one of my documents and can't figure out how to stop it, and they are in all the wrong places. How do I turn it off?

    If your computer is on one minute before it freezes, than you have one minute to secure your serial number.
    click the apple----->click about this Mac ------> click on version----> until you see the serial number.  You may have to do this a couple of times if it freezes before you have all the numbers.  A camera might help.
    Good Luck
