Title: Paypal scam email
Post by: Jerseymic on September 12, 2014, 07:50:10 AM
Hi Guys,

Don't know if I have put this in the right place.

Just a warning, I received an email this morning purporting to be from PayPal with this content:

With the increasing number of customers accessing pаураl and its servісеѕ via mobile devices, we have found the need to veгіfу and prioritize our customers.

If you will like to benefit from this newly introduced tier serνісе, it takes only a few steps.

How to stay updated

To save time and be more efficient, clісk here to login and complete the next level veгіfісation.

The process can be completed in less than 5 minutes.

I phoned PayPal and they told me it is a scam.

Mike.

Nice one, Aiala --

There is certainly more than one kind of "Phishing".

Got to be on your toes in the cyber world today.

Best,

Fred

As a veteran of over 5000 PayPal transactions I can tell you, they will never ask you for your log in information thru an email. You must log in through the PayPal site on your own to conduct any business.

Usually the origin of the email will give it away, or something will be misspelled in the content. Another dead giveaway is that Your account will be disabled if you don't proceed. DELETE! ;D

Exactly.
No legitimate financial organization of any type would remove your account in this fashion.
