Paypal standard security

Hi There
Today I receive an email from .
Sub:-
Critical Information Regarding Your Account

You have recently updated your PayPal© account according to our standard security procedures.

Unfortunately the update procedure failed because some of the information you provided was incorrect.

Please take 5-10 minutes out of your online experience and update your personal records.

However, failure to update your records will result in account suspension.

I am confused it is a spam or real info?
please any experienced user can help me regarding this?
thanks!

 

Were there any links to PayPal's site? If so, do NOT click on them. Go to their site and use the contact form. Most likely it is what is known as a Phishing scam. Never click on any email links when you doubt the "trueness" of it. Also, ALL of PayPal's links will ALWAYS lead to https://www.paypal.com - never anywhere else.

I don't know. But to make sure that you won't get hacked just don't follow or click any link they've provided in email. Login to paypal.com directly.

Thanks for the link. So the email is phishing?

 

Incorrect grammar is usually a dead give away as well.

 

So this is clearly phishing. Plus if they provide links it i something that you should be aware of. Don't click on it.

 

Oh! God thanks I do not login this link
WWW.PAYPAL.COM/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run
Coz it is not opning form "https"
Thanks for remind me. This mail is in my spam box

 

Thanks for the link this is the same text I receive. It means it is a fishing spam?

 

Yes, I would say so.

Besides, I have never heard of PayPal sending emails for corrections. PayPal is very large and I do not think it's system would let you make such mistakes, and even it there were a glitch, it would be system wide.

Besides, like I said, if you are ever unsure, simply login directly to PayPal's website by manually typing in it's SECURE url into your browser address bar (https://www.paypal.com

Hope this helps.

 

yes, it is definitely a fishing problem
and sometimes if the email had a attchment in it with the format of .exe,do remember not to open it ,it probably was a Trojan house program

It means we have to forward it pay pal ?
right?
I am doing it now thanks!
But when i forward it from my pay pal account any problem with my account having. I mean any where pay pal block my account and any risk?

 

Well if you have noticed the email address properly then it clearly shows , and offcource its not the official paypal email id or domain! just forward the mail to and you should receive a reply from them in minutes

 

Ok thanks!
