Scam

I received a message from PPsupport telling me that my account had been suspended due to suspicious activity I clicked on the link but I noticed above it did not have the secure padlock on the html. Is this a scam?

If its a spoof, DO NOT 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 to ''cancel'' the 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.

I received a text message from PPSupport saying my account has been suspended and was given a link to click on. Instead of clicking on the link, I thought I would log in how I normally would and my account was still working. It's a scam!

I’ve had the same message saying my paypal has been temporary limited due to suspicious activity with directions to follow the link. This is a scam as I looked for a number which there wasn’t do not click the link as this can give a virus and access to your phone.
