PINZOO instant PIN e-mailed me stating that I had authorized a payment to them of $199.76. I did NOT authorize any such payment.
Figuring this was a scam, I did not log into my PayPal account using their link. I logged on using my own link & password. I discoverd the there was no such payment showing as pending on PayPal. Next I tried the PINZOO toll free phone number. An automated message stated that the phone line "was not available at this time". That confirmed it. PINZOO is a fraudulent operation preying on people who are susceptible to this type of "phishing". They are generally the people who can least afford to get ripped off (not that any us want to be).
I wil continue to monitor my PayPal account & will notify PayPal of theis blatant fraudulent attempt to steal my hard earned money.

Dear Mike,
If you have received an e-mail from Pay-Pal stating there is a charge for $199.79, be assured that you have not been charged and there is no actual transaction.
Neither PinZoo or PayPal sent you this email. This is called a "phishing" email because the sender is "fishing" for your personal data. The phone number on the email is incorrect because the sender does not want you to reach us and tell you that the email is spam. Our phone number is 1-888-697-4696.
We have been in contact with PayPal and various hosting companies that are allowing these individuals to send out such emails. Pay-Pal's fraud prevention department is aware of these recent spam emails and is working diligently to stop them as well.
Please forward that email to spoof@paypal.com, then delete it. Also visit Pay-Pal's Suspicious Activity page for more information and how you are protected against potential unauthorized activity.
We apologize for this inconvenience, we are victims of these spammers as well :(
Yours,
Edwin Janaslani
President
