hi dp members i got lots of messages on 4 of my email ids from paypal, unfortunately i don't remember having a paypal account with those emails. When i looked carefully the emails were not .com and they asked me to login my account here (edited out the phishing link) this site looks EXACTLY! like paypal but its NOT! so if you get any warning messages or any such messages from paypal PLEASE be careful! regards, sameer
Its always recommended that login to your account using new browser window (by typing full paypal url yourself there). Never click any url provided by any email (specific to finance related sites AND forums ). DON.
lol it's a tipical scam site... type your paypal login and password in that site and they will stole all your money!!! To avoid this scam site it's very simple: you can reach paypal only at paypal.com, the others link are all scam
Thanks for the information. To protect paypal account, never click any link to access paypal, direct go to www.paypal.com
Always make sure that whenever you are entering your contact details or credit card details with a HTTPS URL the (S) at the end of the http means it's a secure link. so https://paypal........ Never ever trust a link that doesn't have https when you are giving out your details. Ok. Cheers:
Thanks for the information. I keep getting emails from unknown people from other countries. There aim is trying to scam.
Beside doing all the method suggested above, don't forget to forward the fake email to spoof[at]paypal.com if you received this kind of email. - Dynashox -
i also receive these mails daily and i always use them i use an email not associated with paypal and in password sections i write my comment for scam sorry i cant write here what i do there and i see they don't mind on wrong paypal password and refer me to the next page as it is as paypal process so its fun for me
Use firefox and never click any paypal email that asking you to take any action about your account. Thank you
Yep, never click on any links and BTW by what name they called you? I mean was there Dear paypal user or Dear paypal member? If so then it is 100% scam.
Um, there are ways around that and all that icon says is that the data transfer is secure between browser and the site in question and the data is going to the site in question. It wouldn't have to be paypal. Why not go ahead and report it please: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webs...ycenter/antiphishing/PPPhishingReport-outside Be sure to include the headers from the email.
Paypal requests that we forward such emails to them at spoof @ paypal.com They request that you send them the full email you received. I have forwarded countless emails to them
