There is a rising trend in Paypal phishing scams. The most recent Paypal spoof I received warns me that my Paypal account has been suspended. It asks me to recover full access to my account by logging in to Paypal. I am sent to a web site that looks exactly like the PayPal login page, when I click on the link provided in the mail. However the link does not go to Paypal.
This is actually the link shown in the email I received.
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run
When you go through the link it really requires you to a site.
It"s usually not advisable to select links in an mail. Make sure that you are signing to the Paypal website by taking a look at the target area section of your browser, if you do.
Contact your bank or creditors immediately to avoid identity theft, when you yourself have already replied to the mail. If you wish to test your Paypal account position, physically kind PayPal"s address in-to your browser and log-in normally. In the event people choose to learn additional info about site, we recommend millions of libraries people can investigate.
I was able to tell that it was a spoof email since the email began with Dear PayPal member." Paypal can always address you by your first and last name. They"ll never send you a message and address you as Dear PayPal member or such.
Another way to tell if a contact is from Paypal is always to go through the entire header. The header is the indication of whether the email is from Paypal or not. When considering the header it will say who sent the e-mail in the initial two lines. Case within the latest spoof email I received it originated in
Return-Path: lester@server.ravin.net
Received: from http://server.ravin.net
If it doesnt say that it passed through Paypals host, then you know the e-mail is really a spoof. The FBI is earnestly investigating these spoofs, therefore please report any suspicious emails by forwarding them to spoof@paypal.com. You can also file a complaint with the Net Fraud Complaint Center at http://www1.ifccfbi.gov/strategy/howtofile.asp.. To research additional information, please consider taking a peep at: CamilaFeatherstone432 - Cirurgia do Joelho.
