Even though I have them set that way....I don't even bother opening emails saying...account verification, or suspended or whatever they use in the subject line...I just delete them. d
Deleting them has reduced the number that I receive. I can't remember when I got the last one.
Good luck on getting your information straight with Paypal. |
This is called phishing - (like FISHING) for our information - as with your banks...credit cards..and PAY PAL -
NEVER CLICK INTO A LINK - LOG ONTO the site FIRST - and contact them from there - this is how scammers get access and they are VERY GOOD AT IT.
Pay pal has an email address you can FORWARD any emails to and they WILL write you back and let you know you were being scammed.
A GOOD RULE on the net is to
never for ANY reason respond to an email... or click any links - you can always contact someone via their website without opening yourself up for a scammer....no matter HOW realistic the email looks !
