Warning to PayPal Customers

[ticklishbbw]

Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd pass this information on to you. Beware if you are a paypal customer. There is a scam circulating via email. I rec'd an email tonight which looked like a legitimate email from paypal. It contained their logo, a lot of site information, even a privacy notice. The email stated paypal was looking for updates on their inactive accounts (I haven't used my account in months, so initially it made sense). However, they ask you to login via a form in the email, asking for both password and account information. This didn't seem legitimate. I called paypal, and it is indeed a scam to get your bank account information and password.

Don't fall for this! Most legitimate sites will never ask for your information via email-this is why I was suspicious. This really really looked legitimate at first glance, so I wanted to warn everyone.

Thanks for the heads up.

Yes, thanks for the heads-up. I'm a new customer, and don't wanna get burned.

This probably comes from the same clown(s) sending out "pay pal" alerts stating that large sums of money have been sitting in the account and need to be claimed. These also request the info. stated. Scams like this abound. If you didn't initiate activity with a company, DON'T respond until you check things like this out.
