Scam - Alleged Payment to Springfield Armory

[hkepner]

I received a scam email saying my PayPal Account had $949.49 withdrawn by Springfield Armory.  I called the number and played along until they finally hung up when they realized they weren't going to get my PayPal Account info.  Has anyone else gotten a similar email?  Is there any place we should forward these emails?

Thanks.

I got the same e-mail from River City Armory as a gun owner and having had purchased from them in the past I wonder if this scammer has bought a list of gun owners or people who have a CC permit or the like. This is worrisome. I forwarded the e-mail to spoof@paypal.com the chat said someone will get back to me after it is reviewed and I hope that is not the auto-response I got for sending the email to the spoof address. These people need to be caught and prosecuted!

I got the same email except from SevenX Armory,  the email address they gave didn't work, so I figured it was a scam, but it looked more realistic than most scams I receive.

nothing to do with gun ownership.  Never owned a gun.  They got our info elsewhere.

I just got the same email today from Grayson armory LLC for $699. I immediately logged on to my Paypal account from my browser to check the most recent activity and found no charges. They listed the last four of my debit card in the email though so I immediately removed all of my cards from my PayPal account

Just got an email from Castleguard Armory LLC stating a payment of $799.00 had been approved. I looked up this company and it is a real business. Don't give 'em any info y'all!
