Paypal does not show any open disputes in my resolution center.

Toss it. I get junk like that all the time and have never been involved in any formal dispute.

Just right click the link that says "Click here Resolve this Dispute and avoid funds deduction" and see if the properties don't say scamslamdept_nigeria_grandhotel@yahoo.com instead of
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_complaint blah blah something or another.

garsmith

Smoeone has gone phishing so don't take the bait.

Fake - The date is the tip off as any VALID paypal dispute is settled within 30 days.

I have complained to BOTH EBAY and PAYPAL as to HOW these scumbags actually get our real names
and EMAILs ... gotta be through them when they get hacked. I am sure that it happens more often that
the public heres about.
