email scam

[scoobey]

i received email asking me to update my info and sign into a link. I did not as it seemed weird to me. so i am assuming this is a scam to get your info.

do not answer and link the email to paypal, they go after them, i forget how to link to paypal ask them.....about those fraudulents emails sometime they tell you "limited access to your paypal account, or suspend your paypal account soon" off course never answer,they want your personal information...

Hi scoobey, and welcome to the Community! 🙂

Welcome back, safari007! It's nice to see you back here. 🙂

You both may want to take a look at this post that Adrian made a while back that explains how to tell if an email is from PayPal or not. It's a descriptive post in its own right, and it also has some links to other great resources for learning about phishing and spoof.

I hope this helps!
