PayPal Scam - Look out! This is a tricky one!
Don't get tricked into giving away your PayPal Login to CyberCrooks!!!
This email was received this week from what appears to be PayPal. The email looks remarkably like a receipt from PayPal for a purchase you did not make. A pretty expensive one, too! Here is the email:
Of course, they want you to click DISPUTE TRANSACTION, since of course, you didn't make this purchase. That will take you to a page that looks like PayPal, while they wait to capture your login and password...
Did you fall for this? I hope not!
Here is your HINT for the day. When you receive suspicious email that has a link in it, double check the link to be sure it goes to where you think it should be going. If you hold your mouse over this link, you will see that it does not show PayPal.com...it will take you somewhere else...and that's where you will have your Identity stolen if you enter your login and password info.
PLEASE SEND THIS POST TO EVERYONE YOU CARE ABOUT. DO NOT LET THEM FALL FOR THIS SCAM -- OR ANY OTHER LIKE IT!
