Scam?

[Amy63]

I recieved an e-mail this morning from PayPal saying that they'd gifted me £100. When clicking on the link, I was asked to login. I haven't gone any further than that as I've been hacked before & I'm a lot more cautious this time. I was just wondering if this is a scam or if anyone else has had this e-mail & has actually claimed the "£100 gift"?

Not sure but I am pretty sceptical at the thought of paypal 'giving' money away

My thoughts exactly! I'm not going to be logging in via the link sent. I think I may just e-mail PayPal to see what's going on & report it

I had it too from 'Paypal Christmas Rewards' and it is DEFINATELY a scam. An easy way of checking is by looking at the email address of sender, it should be Paypal.com. Do not click on the link and/or give them ANY details.
