Do you have a PayPal account?

Post by bapak »

There is quite a few SCAM coming thru lately allegely from PayPal.
Here are some tips from PayPal..
-------------------------------

We understand receiving a fake email can be a cause for concern, and we urge you to always contact us if you have any questions about your PayPal account.

Fake emails, also known as phishing emails, attempt to collect your personal and financial information. These fake emails often link to fake websites that encourage you to enter personal information such as credit card numbers, passport or driver’s license numbers, and account passwords.

You’ll know that an email is not from PayPal when:

The email uses a generic greeting like "Dear user" or "Hello, PayPal member." We always address you by your first name and last name or the business name on your PayPal account.
The email requests financial and other personal information. For example, an email from PayPal never asks for the numbers of your bank account, debit or credit card, or driver’s license. We also don’t request your email addresses, your full name, your account password, or the answers to your PayPal security questions.
The email includes an attachment or a software update to install on your computer.
We will never ask you for money in an email, and we will never ask you to send money through Western Union.

If you think you’ve received a fake email, forward it to spoof@paypal.com. Then delete the fake email from your inbox.

Click Security at the bottom of the PayPal homepage or Security and Protection at the top of any other PayPal page to learn more about fake emails and websites and online safety.

For additional information about fake emails and websites, you can visit www.antiphishing.org, a website put together by the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG).
