Just received an email offering rewards if I link a credit card on a web page that wants my cridit card number and expiration date. I have the following questions:

 

Is this a legitimate email rom PayPal?

 

Is the web page that asks for CC info secure

 

What exactly are the rewards and how are they applied and used?

 

Thanks for any information.

 

Frank

Hey Fdm2000,

 

Welcome to the Community!

 

Thanks for reaching out to us in regards to this.

 

It sounds to me like the email you received was not a genuine PayPal email. Could you please review the information on this link as it will give you information on how to detect and report a phishing email to us http://ow.ly/Nmfiv

 

We would never ask you to click on a link and provide any sensitive information.

 

Please let us know if we can help with anything else in future.

David.
