Hi all. Just went to order something on a website I have never used before and it gave me the option to pay by paypal. The paypal log in came up and I entered my login details. at this point there was a pop up saying that some "unusual activity" had been detected on my account and I needed to change my password. Needless to say I smelt a rat and logged into paypal via my ebay account. Once logged in I did change my password - better safe than sorry! I looked at my account activity and there were no transactions that I did not recognise. However, there was a name in the list of payers/payees that I did not recognise, nore could I find any transactions with this person; I also searched the name and nothing was found. The combination of a possible fake pop up and the name that I do not recognise has rung serious alarm bells. Anyone else encountered this?
