Sadly, yes people do. I had a coworker of mine ask me for help because she couldn't log into her eBay account to check on a "problem". Turned out to be a classic phish with a completely unobfuscated URL. It wasn't even a particularly good copy of eBay's site. Yet it didn't even raise a red flag with this person.
Oh Man, PayPal is world's first worst scammer. They will take at 1-3 days to transfer amounts to local banks. But when they needed, they will take upto 5 days. And they change a ton of money in terms of fees. Its not just the fee, the conversion rate is too worst compare to live conversion rates. We are using it so far because there is no other way and or the time to do transfers. Of course we've other form of money transfers. But they need you physically there to send money. I've been searching for alternative and i saw this Transferwise.com. thought this is another scam. But Turns out this is actually giving you live conversion rate ("Yes live conversion rate") and it wont take more 10 days like PP. But less than an hour. When i say less than an hour, it usually appear in my account in first 5 to 10 mins. But its all up to.. Cheers V
