Anyone know www.pp.com ?

[VX Foxy]

Sorry is this is in the wrong place - mods, feel free to move.

I want to buy something online and the seller wants me to pay via PP.com - I've never heard of it and our Trend Micro Security won't let me open it... Does anyone have any experience of it?

TIA

Do you mean PayPal ?

Never heard of PP.com

[Justayellowbadge]

It'll be PayPal.

No, I'm 99.99% sure it's not PayPal. The guy (Italian) gave me a link to www.pp.com. It's not a lot of money...so I don't think it's a scam. It's also via a fairly well known forum where they all use this method to buy and sell.

Likely just abbreviating. pp.com doesn't bring up anything for me

[OzzyR1]

I don't get anything on pp.com either, just a blank screen.


You sure it's not a re-direct link to nigerianscammingco.com?

Even google doesn't recognise pp.com



ETA: What is the website you are buying from?

Sending money to or logging on to?

Sounds like a scam to me.

www.pp.com or www.pp.com/logmeintoacampage.html?
Is it the classic scam where it then brings up a fake but real looking Paypal page to grab your username/password and then money.

Thanks morningside - I think you might be on to it. I'll confront the seller and let you know what he says!

[Cupid Stunt]

Sounds like a let off, good job you asked

[VX Foxy]

Sorted! For some reason the forum in question automatically changes paypal to pp. So when the seller typed www.paypal.com it came out as www.pp.com . D'oh!

Thanks for your help

As you were...

The forum changes the url? Sounds a bit iffy to me.

A forum with a clique? Heaven forbid!
