Suspicious Email

Hello,

I have received 4 strange emails.

 

The email address I received these emails is on another email account of mine that is not signed up to paypal. I could sign in with all of my 4 '@citromail.hu' addresses, but I think I do not registered with all of them to paypal! 

 

The 4 emails I received are titled 'YOUR ACCOUNT HAS BEEN IIMITED UNTII WE HEAR FROM YOU'. The emails are automated emails in which I am asked not to reply.

 

These emails are about that my account will be closed and inform me that "We had some problems with your PayPal account. Please update your account information. This is last change to update your account or we will have to close the account.

What do I need to do?

Log in to your PayPaI account.

Please read about Limits PayPal Service and update your information."

They are asking me to click a confirm email button ('Confirm my Account now').

 

If I clicked on the button it went to a page (https://centerservicesecurityhlpers.com/) where I could sign in with all my '@citromail.hu' addresses (also with those which are not registered to PayPal, as I remember). I could use different security codes, all went to the a page centerservicesecurityhlpers.com (an 'e' is missing).

When I clicked on Continue button, they asked to give all the data of my address and then the data of my card - but at this point I did not contiuned it (I did not give my personal data, as my address, card data, etc.), so I do not know what will come later.

 

 

Can someone please inform me of what I should do please?

 

Kind regards,

Judit

This is 99.9% spoof trying to hijack your paypal info.

 

Why don't you log into your paypal account normally AND NOT VIA ANY LINKS IN THAT EMAIL. If when you have logged in everything is ok then its not limited is it !!!!

 

You’ll know that an email is not from PayPal when:

  • The email uses a generic greeting like ‘Dear user’ or ‘Hello, PayPal member.’ We'll always address you by your first and last name or the business name on your PayPal account.
  • The email requests financial and other personal information. A real email from us will never ask for your bank account number, debit or credit card number etc. Also we'll never ask for your full name, your account password, or the answers to your PayPal security questions in an email.
  • The email asks you to provide the tracking number of a dispatched item, before you've received the payment into your PayPal account
  • The email includes a software update to install on your computer
