Today I came across another fraudulent email in my spam folder. This Fraudster was trying to mimic Paypal, stating that "πΈπππ π―πΊππ―πΊπ πΊπΌπΌππππ ππΊπ π»πΎπΎπ ππΎπππππΊπππ π ππΎπππππΌππΎπ½. πΆπΎ ππΊππΎ πΏππππ½ ππππππΌππππ πΊπΌππππππ ππ πΌππΎπ½ππ πΌπΊππ½π π ππππΎπ½ ππ ππππ π―πΊππ―πΊπ πΊπΌπΌππππ. πΈππ ππππ πΌπππΏπππ ππππ ππ½πΎπππππ ππ πΌπππΏπππ πππΊπ πππ πππ πππΎ πΌππΎπ½ππ πΌπΊππ½. " 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.
