Looks genuine but after it asks for all of my paypal acct info, i checked and its contact info are all bogus. A supposedly charge from upinus pte ltd but checking paypal acct, the charge isnt there... the web address looks weird too. Dont get duped and give out ur info... i am cancelling my paypal acct becUse if something happens, they wont help.....
I had this happen as well in an email, decent fake but if you look at the sender they set the name to paypals email but the address was not. Did not fall for it.
They use other company names and talk about steam wallets. it came from some email address referring to a .com called gbpsfrontiercolony which is the source of the scam in my inbox.
Of course paypal won't help if its a phishing email as it has nothing to do with paypal.
If its a spoof then NEVER USE ANY LINK OR ANY PHONE NUMBER.
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.
Also if they ask you to call the number in the email then it would be fake paypal agents trying to scam you for money to 'fix' something.
If there was a problem with your account Paypal would not ask you to click on an unsafe link in an email / download an attachment OR phone them on a number in an email, they would direct you to log in normally and go to the resolution or the message centre for more information.
