So as my title says I have encountered a scam that is attempting to use PayPal and got to say it was a good one! So I wanted to post it here to get the word out. Firstly I you will get an email like this: (addressed to your email and not your name, I have blacked out my email address) and then if you click the link to try to stop this it will take to you a log in page, in this page you can literally type in anything and it will then 'log in', which when you type your email and password makes it look very real and finally you're taken to a page to enter all your personal info and bank details, also looking very real but none of the hyperlinks on this page work, trying to enter something in the search bar will just refresh the page. But as you can tell it looks very well set up, everything from start to finish looks like it came from PayPal. The biggest giveaway though was the address bar. i didn't fill any of this out so not sure what happens afterwards, but it's easy to see how this works using your fear of losing your money and if you don't look out for small details it's easy to miss the fact it's a scam. Please warn friends and family about this, it is honestly a really well set up scam and could easily work so I wanted to get word out about it
