PayPal Users: Beware of Phishing Scams


Summary

Recent phishing scams targeting PayPal users are on the rise. One such scam involves emails claiming that your PayPal account has been suspended, urging you to log in via a provided link. However, this link leads to a fraudulent site mimicking the PayPal login page.

Recognizing a Scam

Phishing emails often include links like this one:

`https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run`

While it may look legitimate, clicking the link redirects you to a phishing site. Always check the URL in your browser to ensure you are on the official PayPal website.

Safety Tips

- Avoid Clicking Links: It’s best not to click on links in unsolicited emails. Instead, manually enter PayPal’s address in your browser to check your account status.
- Verify Sender Details: Genuine PayPal emails will always address you with your first and last name, not as "Dear PayPal member." Check the email header for the sender's information. If the email hasn’t passed through PayPal’s server, it’s likely a fake.

If you've already responded to a phishing email, immediately contact your bank or credit card provider to guard against identity theft.

What to Do with Suspicious Emails

Report suspicious emails by forwarding them to spoof@paypal.com. You can also file a complaint with the FBI's Internet Fraud Complaint Center.
