Pay pal scams have been know to ask for
account, credit card and bank account information. Once again
never under any circumstances give out or email any information
back to anyone.
What these scammers do is include a link to
a website that looks like it is pay pals.
Do not click this link! The link will say
paypal.com sometimes in it, however these thieves can manipulate these
links to look legitimate but, what they really do is go to a
whole different website.
Once an unsuspecting computer user clicks
the link and goes to this website, it looks just like it is a
regular pay pal site.
However, if you look at the address bar at
the top of your browser you will see that it is a completely
different website.
Once there they ask you to fill out your
information. Sometimes including credit card information.
Stay
away from any pay pal emails that you receive.
Remember to always call or email pay pal
directly if you have any questions.
You can also report these emails directly
to pay pal. Will this help catch these thieves? Most likely
not.
However, reporting this to them allows them
to know how bad these scam artists are hitting the internet and
they can sometimes diagnose these emails and get to the root of
the problem.
So
if you receive any emails like this delete them because it is a
pay pal scam.
