BEWARE SCAM EMAIL GOING AROUND ABOUT PAYPAL!

I really don’t know what the problem can be. Not sure it is somehow related to scammers, unless they sent you a virused link. So try to do the following. Go click on my link and follow their step-by-step instructions. I am sure you haven’t even tried to clean your Chrome cache. And this can slow down your mail very much, by the way.

Of course Gmail should have a spam button! Don’t you see it in your menu? I can’t help you right now because my Gmail is not working in Chrome! And that makes me crazy!!

That’s really scary! It’s so frustrating how people try and take your money in horrible ways ):

i always type the paypal link into my browser. It helps stop me from clicking the link and falling into prey.

If you want, you can report that to Paypal

I got it this morning, luckily it went to my spam as well but my partner also got one and was calling me to see if it was legit. I would have killed him if he put the account details in!

I received the same email, strange thing is, I don’t have paypal on that email address, so instantly hit the spam button.

I get these fairly regularly. They usually go to my Junk folder, but occasionally I go through & forward them to phishing@Paypal.com. The Spoof email address is for fake PayPal websites, but their security team will know what to do.

Remember: PayPal never refer to you as “Dear member,” they always use your full name.

If you can’t remember where to send fake PayPal emails, always open PayPal IN A SEPARATE WINDOW OR TAB. TYPE THE URL YOURSELF, DON’T EVER CLICK ANY LINKS, EVEN IF THEY APPEAR TO SAY PAYPAL.

Paypal and there was an ANZ one going around recently too about clicking to follow the link to confirm your account details.

On the same line, there is a phone scam from the ATO stating that you owe money on your income tax account and need to pay up asap. The ATO will always contact you via written correspondence, this is a complete hoax.

Get these all the time. As Margaret mentioned if you want to check your account log into the genuine site and don’t click any links in the emails. There are so many scams for banks, govt agencies, debt collectors and it can be easy to be fooled.

About a month ago I was receiving these kinds of emails weekly; like two to three times a week. I knew they were scams, as, like you’ve pointed out, the email address they come from is certainly not a paypal email. Also, you can pick up grammatical errors very easily – like where they say ‘your account has been Limited’. The ‘L’ should not be a capital. I’ve been logging into my paypal account via the genuine sit (certainly not by clicking any link in the scam email) and just checking to see if there’s been any movement and it’s all okay.
