« on: May 05, 2009, 09:21:12 pm »
this affect window cleaners using paypal so please don't move it:

1 always sign in paypal in address bar never from an email, if using outlook express yo can hover over the links in email and willl be shown at the bottom, some will be able to see the fraud address some not so in the know will not, if you get a spoff email report it here is a reprt I did earlier today, everytime this is done it stops the scum bags in there tracks:

Hello windowwashers.co.uk,

Thanks for forwarding that suspicious-looking email. You're right - it
was a phishing attempt, and we're working on stopping the fraud. By
reporting the problem, you've made a difference!

Identity thieves try to trick you into revealing your password or other
personal information through phishing emails and fake websites. To learn
more about online safety, click "Security Center" on any PayPal webpage.


Every email counts. When you forward suspicious-looking emails to
spoof@paypal.com, you help keep yourself and others safe from identity
theft.

Your account security is very important to us, so we appreciate your
extra effort.

Thanks,

PayPal

A paypal scam reported in the press a few years ago was to get you to click on a link which said Paypal when in fact it was Paypai.com but they sneakily used a capital 'I' so to most people it looked authentic.

As Ian says always sign in to Paypal from the address bar never from a link - or visit the correct site via your Favourites.
