From time to time I get emails from PayPal stating that someone sent me a small amount of money (always an odd number, between 5 and 21 Euro), and that I should register to claim this amount. It is obviously a scam, because – I don’t know the senders – It’s to an email address I no longer use and that gets spammed frequently – It’s from a PayPal affiliate in the country of the email domain (I no longer live there) What is the game here? Is it to confirm my email address is real? Will they claim the money back? Or would I become a money laundering mule when they ask me to send the money back to a different account? I just can’t come up with anything that sounds remotely profitable to me.
