Another PayPal Warning - Strange Credit Email

antonye · 28-Jun-2005, 12:21

Just had an email plop into my inbox, notifying me of a payment made to my PayPal account.

Thinking this was a bit odd, I logged into my PayPal account by typing in the PayPal address, as you should.

Nothing was in there, so I went back to the email and checked again - sure enough there was a link hidden inside the email which didn't go to PayPal but to a scam site which looks like PayPal but asks for your login details.

Please be aware that you may well receive the same, so don't forget to ALWAYS type the address into your browser rather than click on links in emails.

Yep me too - Also been getting requests stating - do you ship to usa or similar for items I don't even have for sale.
I always bin these mails that request password or login.
