Paypal email scam going around BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for the heads-up

This and variations have been going around for some time. Best thing to do, as mentioned above, is not to click on links sent via e-mail and to use a bookmark or type the address manually. This happens with bank accounts as well as Paypal. They are trying to harvest and hijack accounts with money.

I hate scammers. Think of a way to cure cancer instead of infecting another's computer or stealing their info for crying out loud.

Thanks for the heads up. 

There's another one going around from the Post Office or UPS. I actually received this one--it says "Your package is undeliverable; please click on the attachment to get information on where you may retrieve your package/ see the tracking status..."---something like that.

When you click on the link it contains a Trojan Horse virus. My Norton picked it up and wouldn't allow it to open.

The most annoying ones are the ones that hack your contacts' names and send you a phony email from someone you already know.

I am normally a bit cautious with any e-mails asking me for things, but nice to have a bit of warning. I will be on my guard. thanks for the heads up.

Thats not good. Usually when i get an email from somewhere that i use asking me to do something, ill go to the legit page and find my way there.

A general rule of thumb is never believe anything in your email related to money.
