Another thing to remember is that Paypal will always address you by your real name such as "Dear Bill Bloggs" If it is not so addressed or comes as "Dear Paypal User" or some such it is NOT from Paypal. |

By the lone taper - Mon 18/02/08 18:54:23 GMT paypal always has it start with https: - s means secure - if it does not have an s - and if it is not https://wwwpaypal.com then it is not paypal - as PTY Barnum says there is one born every minute |
In reply to Message (34287) OT - Possible PayPal scam
By waterspaniel - Mon 18/02/08 08:21:52 GMT I received an e-mail, supposedly from PayPal, that they suspected an unauthorized transaction on my account and were temporarily limiting my access to certain personal information. I was instructed to click on the enclosed "Resolution Center" link to confirm my personal information. When I clicked on the link, my Macafee site advisor suddenly popped up and identified it as a "phishing" expedition to get my personal information. So I opened up a new window, went to the PayPal site, and lo and behold - no indication whatever of any restrictions on my account access. There are a couple of suspicious things about the e-mail: misspelled words and the subject line, which was just "PayPal". PayPal identifies the actual subject of the e-mail, such as "Account Transaction", etc. The "phishers" really tried to make it look official by putting a copyright notice at the bottom of the e-mail. Whoever heard of copyrighting an e-mail? Beware of this if you use PayPal. |
