Fraudulent Email Addresses 4 (Paypal)



Today I came across another fraudulent email in my spam folder. This Fraudster was trying to mimic Paypal, stating that "π–Έπ—ˆπ—Žπ—‹ 𝖯𝖺𝗒𝖯𝖺𝗅 π–Ίπ–Όπ–Όπ—ˆπ—Žπ—‡π— π—π–Ίπ—Œ 𝖻𝖾𝖾𝗇 π—π–Ύπ—†π—‰π—ˆπ—‹π–Ίπ—‹π—‚π—…π—’ π—‹π–Ύπ—Œπ—π—‹π—‚π–Όπ—π–Ύπ–½.

" The intention is to have users click on the "Log in to PayPal" link, which takes you to a fake site made to look like Paypal. When you enter your credentials, the fraudster gets them. They can now get into your account and steal your money.

Remember, your first level security is to check the sender of any email. Then avoid clicking email links to get to your online Paypal account. It is better to visit the website of Paypal by typing the address yourself on your browser.
