I received a text message from the following number <Removed>
-PayPal Msg:
-Verification required: <Removed>
Do not fall for it. I checked the page and each link other than the once they want you to click just opens the exact same page. This is not a PayPal web page. It is scammers trying to get your info. Just wanted to share this with everyone, so these scammers don't get any victims. Make sure you let others know.
Yep been ongoing for years, glad you weren't caught out.
If its a spoof then NEVER USE ANY LINK.
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.
