Don't get taken in by this one! It's very convincing! This one comes to you as a "receipt for payment" and shows the usual, what was purchased and to whom (which of course is fake) and a "large" amount which is meant to put you into a panic mode! On the bottom there is a link to "dipute" it. DO NOT CLICK ON THAT LINK!!! A lot of people are hitting that because of the "panic factor" that takes over! This is exactly their intention to put the person into such a panic that they don't think before they click on that button! This is NOT a legitimate e-mail from Paypal! If you did click on it and imput your password, go directly to the Paypal site and change your password AND security questions immediately. Make sure you go to the site directly using your address bar to http://www.paypal.com! Your best protection from phishing e-mails is to NEVER click on any links in an e-mail. If you should receive one of these, foward it to: spoof@paypal.com and then delete it. |
