PayPal Phish

January 12th 2007 00:47


I have actually received this phony email, supposedly from PayPal. Since finding out that this is going around the world, I thought I'd pass the info on.

There's a new "phishing" expedition with your PayPal account as the target. I have not included a link to PayPal on purpose, because of this.

The new effort to get to your cash goes something like this:

Subject Line: Please Restore Your Account Access

your credit card has been assigned to two different accounts, this violates policy and your account has been "limited" as a result
.


DON'T DO IT! DON'T LOG IN!

Either delete the email, report it as spam, or, if you know how, try to report the link to PayPal.
If you have a concern, after signing off, then back on, go straight to PayPal and check your account, which will probably show you that it is fine.

Sigh, remember, be careful online.
