Paypal Scam Con Alert and Email Warning
|
YOU SHOULD IGNORE ALL emails allegedly from Paypal, even if these
include your name.
A Paypal URL... which a Money Saving Tips.com can not reveal is being used
by scam artists to uncover the name of Paypal users.
Adding a Paypal members's email address to the end of this particular Paypal URL brings
up a box with that member's full name. These scamsters do not even need to log into Paypal
to access the URL.
According, these scam artists are then emailing Paypal users pretending
to be Paypal and using these members first names to add authenticity.
Potentially, duped
members may reveal financial or personal details.
The URL may be fixed soon. But be on your best guard.
Paypal Email Warning
Check e-mails from Paypal are genuine - refere to Paypal website guidelines on how they will contact
you, caution aMoneySavingTips's Online Trading Community.
This month, we're seeing another wave of emails coming out from con-artists to users of these
payment services. The most common email claims your payment details need to be updated if you
are to continue using the services.
The 2nd most popular claims your last transaction has failed so you need to resubmit your details.
New and less experienced users are clicking links and going to con-artists sites where they
leave their credit card and password details.
There are many warning signs. The email will not address you by name. The website you are
drected to will not be the usual website address.
There will be no security padlock to the bottom right of the screen. Please be extra carefull.
