PayPal scammers
I have received a scam email, notifying me of an invoice. The sender was shown as paypal.com. I know that part can be spoofed. Links within the email led to an invoice page at paypal.com.
Giveaway clues: the email came to an account which has no association with PayPal. The salutation was User. PayPal do not address their customers like that. I have conducted no business which would generate the purported invoice. What particularly stood out, was that the links led to genuine PayPal content. I tried one in the online sandbox at Browserling. This revealed that PayPal have deleted the scammers' file(s), on suspicion that they are a scam! |
John,
First off, DO NOT OPEN ANY LINKS, It can put malicious software on your PC or let them know the account is live so they can target you more.. https://www.howtogeek.com/437513/wha...hishing-email/ https://www.identityguard.com/news/w...phishing-email to get them shut down, forward the emails to the link on here. I do it for everyone I get. https://www.gov.uk/report-suspicious...sites-phishing |
