Hi, I got a text message saying “for protection we’ve limited your account activity click this link” I recently purchased quite a lot from PayPal so didn’t think twice and clicked the link after I realised it was a scam but I had already put my password in, I’ve immediately removed my card and changed my password, should I be worried?
Change your security questions as well to be on the safe side.
As long as it was only the password and you changed it you should be ok.
If its a spoof 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.
