There is a rising trend in Paypal phishing scams. The newest Paypal spoof I received warns me that my Paypal consideration is suspended. I-t asks me to restore full access to my account by logging into Paypal. My pastor learned about plus.google.com/+tylercollinsseo by browsing Google Books. When I click the link provided in the mail, I'm delivered to a web site that looks just like the PayPal login page. But the link does not go to Paypal.

Here is the link shown in the e-mail I received.

It really requires you to some phisers page when you go through the link. If you wish to get more about continue reading, there are lots of databases you should consider investigating.

It is generally maybe not recommended to select links in an mail. Be sure that you're signing to the Paypal site by looking at the address location area of your browser, if you do.

When you have already responded to the e-mail, contact your bank or credit card companies immediately to prevent identity theft. If you want to check on your Paypal consideration status, by hand kind PayPal's address into your browser and join normally.

I was in a position to tell that it was a spoof email as the email started with Dear PayPal member.' Paypal will always address you by your first and last name. They'll never send an email to you and handle you as Dear PayPal member or such.

Another way to tell if a message is from Paypal is to consider the full header. The header is the indication of perhaps the email is from Paypal or not. When looking at the header it will say who sent the email in the very first two lines. Example within the latest spoof email I received it originated from

Return-Path: lester@server.ravin.net

Received: from http://server.ravin.net

If it doesnt say that it passed through Paypals server, you then know the e-mail is really a spoof. The FBI is earnestly investigating these spoofs, so please report any suspicious messages by forwarding them to spoof@paypal.com. You can also file a complaint with the Net Fraud Complaint Center at http://www1.ifccfbi.gov/strategy/howtofile.asp..
