New PayPal Phishing Scam Email?
"You've got a payment"
The return address shows it is from: service(AT)paypal.com but when I open it, the email address says it's from: restore(AT)service-paypal.com. Obviously not the same. That was the first clue something wasn't right.
Next, the email looks really really close to what PayPal would send you, however, on the inside it says:
"Hello,
You sent a payment of $7.95 to shopping(AT)*********.com"
Hmm, another non match.
No name is mentioned, which is another clue that it's a phishing email.
And finally, the entire email is actually an image that no matter what portion you click on, will forward you off somewhere.
Obviously I wasn't dumb enough to click on anything and forwarded the email to PP immediately.
I just wanted to warn everyone to look out for this as it was new to me. Some of you may have already received something like this in your inbox.
The scammers are getting better at what they're doing folks and we have to be ever vigilant to report these things and share the info with others that may not know.
Sorry if someone else already posted about this, but it was new to me, so I thought I'd post it up here to help protect those that may not have known about it like me.
