Fraudulent Paypal Email - Be Careful!!
Hey guys!
Just thought I'd give you all a heads up that I got a spoof Paypal email today (asking to update details, etc) that I was a bit sus about, so I forwarded it to Paypal to look into... They've confirmed that it was definitely fraudulent, and it looks like someone's built a site exactly like Paypal's, they ask you to log in, then they have all your details. So, seeing as I know most of us use Paypal, I thought I'd let you know in case you get the same thing and assume it to be genuine... In case you have gotten it and logged in, etc, this is what the Paypal guys said to do: "We appreciate you bringing this suspicious email to our attention. We can confirm that the email you received was not sent to you by PayPal. The website linked to this email is not a registered URL authorised or used by PayPal. We are currently investigating this incident fully. Please do not enter any personal or financial information into this website. If you have surrendered any personal or financial information to this fraudulent website, you should immediately log in to your PayPal account and change your password and secret question and answer information. Any compromised financial information should be reported to the appropriate parties. If you notice any unauthorised activity associated with your PayPal transaction history, please immediately report this to PayPal by following the instructions below: 1. Log in to your account at https://www.paypal.com/au by entering your email address and password into the Member Log In box 2. Click on the Security Centre at the bottom of the page 3. Click on the 'Unauthorised Transaction' link under the Report a Problem column 4. Please follow the instructions in order to access the appropriate form If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us again. Yours sincerely, PayPal Account Review Department" |
