Hi. Quick question. I received an email from Paypal which is legitimate from <removed> (can't write the email address) advising me i activated one touch payments. I find this odd since i hadn't used my account in about 5 days. When i logged in to check One Touch payments are not activated. Has anyone else come across this?
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.
It was addressed to me by my full name which is why i know it is real. I still have the email and as i said it came from the email address of service at paypal dot com.
