Or so, the email I received notified me….
It wasn’t the first time. I’ve been receiving such emails telling me that my Paypal account has been limited and that I have to fix it by clicking on a link.
Have you received such?
Don’t click! If you would notice the status bar when you mouse over the link, it’s not from paypal.com but from some site. What will happen is, when you click that link and enter your details, you have given the scammers your login information.
It’s not just Paypal. There are others like banks, commonly.
Many know of this but still a lot do not have an inkling so this post is to warn and help you…and, don’t panic.

Great tip there Cecile. Also, when anyone received an alarming email, just login right away to your Paypal account (not following the link from the e-mail) to see if there are messages or notifications inside it.
For those using gmail, tag it as well as phishing message to stop scammers of this nature.
Scammers use their email, usually once only. They presume that they have been tagged as spam so it would be futile to use the same email again. Simple deletion is what I do. The important thing is you RECOGNIZE such.
I received an e-mail last June 10 of similar topic. Kindly check out my blog for the post…
