Post subject: Paypal Fraud | |
|
Wanted to let some know, there seems to be a bit of a scam going around with Paypal accounts.
I received an email today saying I had added a new email account to my paypal account. It said if this was not correct to click on a link. Of course I didn't do that, and just got into paypals website and emailed them a copy of the email.
The email account it seemed to have changed to, when you hover the mouse over it, it wasn't actually that account. It went to the same link as the one they say to click on to tell if the email was not correct.
I am very lucky that I am so suspicious of emails i receive because i hardly every use email. So tend to know when somethings not right.
Anyway it has been reported now, and I don't intend to click on ANY link or verify anything in this email.
So buyers beware!!!!! _________________ "whaaa whaaaaaa! |

Never click on any link from unsolicited e-mail.
No bank or reputable business would expect you to contact them this way. |

How do you know? It depends on the setting. I lost my train of thought. |
