Here' a mail I got supposedly from PayPal The link really points to - http://217-133-229-50.b2b.tiscali.it/.www.paypal.com/index.htm The mail came from - PayPal Inc <mail@support.com> If you get a mail like this delete is asap. Regards Ishan
Yes this email is not from paypal. Paypal never ask for password.I also used to get this type of email.
Firefox is the best browser. I really love the features they added in Firefox 2.0. It will save your password.
This is called phishing. Verisign and Comodo have come out wiht an SSL cert to help prevent some of these measures on Internet Explorer 7.0
Never trust such emails. Only trust paypal.com or u will be scammed. There are a lot of scammers lurking around looking for prey
even though you get these type of emails always type and www.paypal.com on your browser and change any thing do you want and also do not click on any links from a n email also change your DP email id as I have received some Emails frpm paypal scammers to an email I have displayed in my profile The real point is that I hae no paypal account in that email address
It is a classic phishing mail, never, never, never follow it or your Paypal access and your Paypal funds are in the "closet". See you soon.
One dead give away its not from Paypal, is these type of phishing scams are usually addressed to "Dear Paypal Customer" Paypal always addresses you by your registered name. But as stated above, never click an email link to a bank or anything that required you enter personal data.
Paypal is not the only one - Chase, Bank of American, 53rd Bank, Key Bank, eBay, etc - are all victims of phishing. I almost fell for it once myself when I received something from Chase telling me I qualified for a $25 gift card. Fortunately I looked at the recipient and it was sent to my regular email address, not my Chase address There are people out there who do want to cheat you - always remember that. Maybe I am somewhat jaded - been on these forums for a long time and I have seen a lot. Just be careful with the links you click
Just another tiny note - when typing the PayPal address into your browser address bar, type https://www.paypal.com. Adding in the https:// there ensures that you are already using a secure connection and nothing can 'listen in' (well - other than a keylogger...).
- forward it there. My dad recently got an email like this but it was about how his account was suspended due to recent activity, luckily he came to me before opening it.. I'm pretty sure he woulda thought it was real.
