So I just completed a sale on Ebay and received an email stating that in order to receive the payment I needed to click the link in the email, to fill out a one page registration form from paypal to receive my payment. But when I click the link it had me login to my paypal account then I was sent to the main home menu and I cant figure out where to go to fill out this registration form. I have no idea what to do
Was it a spoof? If so do NOT click any link as you may have given your log in information to a scammer.
Firstly if the email/text 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/text to ''cancel'' any 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.
