Beware of Fraud !!!

[Samorax]

This is not a question to the community, but to create awareness of some exceptions of emails that claims to be sent from PayPal, but are from fraudsters.

This email comes with subject: "Suspicious Activity" and provides in the body; that your account has been reduced to limited features and you need to login to update your account information. It shows a button "Click here to restore access". Beware!!! clicking such redirects you to a page which is not hosted by PayPal and asks for your personal and credit card information.

This email is from PrioritySupport'at'andista.uk. Beware!!!

Yep too true.

If its a spoof, DO NOT USE ANY LINK.

Firstly if the email addressed you as ''Dear Member'' / ''Customer'' / ''Client'' OR your ''email address'' then that confirms its a spoof as paypal would address you by your full name eg Dear John Smith.

Secondly if there was a link OR attachment in that email to ''cancel'' the transaction or ''confirm'' any details then again it would be a spoof.

If there was a problem with your account paypal would not ask you to click on an unsafe link in an email or by downloading an attachment, they would direct you to log in normally and go to the resolution or the message centre for more information.
