Phising Pay Pal email

[Cindy]

Be aware there is a pay pal announcement being sent out.

This is a phishing email trying to obtain your financial details.

Do not respond to it in any way just delete it.

It looks like this:




   
Dear Customer,

This is to inform you that your account was selected for verification during our regular system maintenance.

Confirming your account will give you full access to PayPaI, We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

And just to help - PayPal will always refer to you by your name, the scammers generally only call you "Dear Customer" or similar.

Never click on links in emails! Go to PPs website and login. If PP need information they will request it then. If in question you can forward the email to spoof at PayPal dot com

  You forward these to PayPal. I do that every time I get these. PayPal actually investigates them.

I'm not going to bother verifying my paypal account, I just won the Nigerian Lottery and I'm filthy rich!
