Update Your Account

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a scam PayPal email – so here is one.

NEVER click on a link in a PayPal email, even if you think it is genuine.  ALWAYS enter the address of the PayPal website directly into your browser and login to your account.

This is an obvious scam:  a) it addresses me as “Dear PayPal Member” instead of using my registered username, b) it wasn’t sent to my PayPal email address, c)if you point your mouse at the link in the email and look at the web address that is displayed at the bottom left of your screen, you will see that it isn’t the PayPal website at all – it takes you to http://www.canilblackwinners.com.br/UserFiles/Flash/www.paypal.co.uk…………..  a page that a hacker has added to an existing, legitimate, site.

Dear PayPal Member,

It has come to our attention that your PayPal Billing Information records are out of date.
That requires you to update the Billing Information.
Failure to update your records will result in account termination.
Please update your records in maximum 24 hours.
Once you have updated them, your PayPal session will not be interrupted and will continue as normal.

Please follow the link below and update your account information:

Thanks for your patience.
