+++important: Paypal Scam+++
Hi everyone, this has to do with a major scam attempt I was just targeted (unsuccesfully) with, whether this has been around before im not sure, I believe its pretty new because Paypal called me to ask me specific details after I left them an email and called them.
For anyone out there that uses Paypal, there is a new scam out there to steal your password and bank account info. It will look and act just like a regular paypal email, and will tell you a new email has been added to your account, with a link to prove that you didnt. DO NOT CLICK THE LINK OR FILL IN ANY INFORMATION!!!! Open another broswer, and open paypal and see if anythign under your account under the actual paypal is there. If not, that original email is a SCAM, report it immediatly to paypal, etc etc. It looks and acts like the real thing, just be careful. Hopefully we can spread the word. Just be careful, spread this to where you can. |

It's called phishing. They throw out a line with bait and see if they get a bite.
Paypal is the common one. The also use Ebay and different bank names. |
