Paypal E-mails? - Blu-ray Forum

jq71586 · 03-04-2008, 08:55 PM

Is anyone else keep getting e-mails from Paypal about every 15 minutes about security.

They keep asking me to re-put in all my information and when I go to the page my browser brings up warnings about phising. Any one else experiencing or has experienced this?

Because it is phishing. Do NOT respond or submit any personal data.

I wasn't going to because that warning has never come up with paypal, I just wanted to make sure with anyone here because I know alot of people here use paypal. Thanks for the quick reply.

Real paypal emails will address you by name, not as "PayPal" user, and they're never designed to make you think something's urgent.

Forward the emails to PayPal's security dept. And always: enter the paypal URL manually; never follow links from email of they involve your info.

In almost every email I have ever gotten from paypal a warning comes along with the email that Paypal would not ever send an email asking you for you login information or personal information. Take Musashi' s advice and forward the email to paypal. There should be a link on the paypal site to do it.

Just send me your account name and password.

I'll check into it for you.

I get these about once a month. They are definitely phishing attempts.

Just delete them.

Forward any suspicious e-mails to "spoof@paypal.com".

They'll tell you within 24 hours if it is legit or not.

never click on any links from your email address, been a couple times ive received emails claiming i made a $400+ payment of some kind and after careful examinations doesnt seem to be legit. To be safe i open a new browser and go to my paypal acct and contact a customer service and it always ends up being a fake. Lot of shady people out there.
