Hi guys just getting the word out that I got a dodgy email from an address looking like PayPal. It says you have been limited and you need to update your details. The email address comes up as looking like PayPal at first glance but is actually help@paypay. Don't click the link and log in as you will be giving you PayPal details to them.
You have been warned! Only log in to PayPal from eBay or PayPal site you type in.
Fake email from "PayPal"
Re: Fake email from "PayPal"
I have had this a couple of times from, your account has been hacked, to, there have been unauthorised withdrawals.
Never click on the link. Always go in by your normal route.
A good reminder.

Re: Fake email from "PayPal"
Usually, it is easy to spot the fake emails as it doesn't address you with the full name and it start with a generic phrase such as "Dear Paypal user...".
Every time a fake email arrives, I will forward it to "spoof@paypal.com". Paypal will check it and let you know if it is theirs or not.
NEVER click a link on an email from paypal. ALWAYS type the Paypal address on the address bar on your browser.
If in doubt, always forward the email to paypal. They don't mind, in fact they will thank you for it. It is up to us to flag possible new scams and protect our accounts.
