Phishing for PayPal? Be Careful!

January 22, 2020 06:14PM
Be Careful! Apparent Phishing using fake PayPal website. I get an email about a supposed payment made to Playwith Interactive from service@intl.paypal.com every day. This may look like it's from PayPal, but the email address is fake. It is apparently a subdomain to phish your PayPal account information from you. Never login to your PayPal account by using a link in an email.

Report it to spoof@paypal.com so it can be investigated.

Did they address you by name? Anytime I get an email where they don't immediately address me by name, I delete. It's those "dear customer" ones that are so blatantly obvious. Not that I wouldn't go ahead and investigate otherwise, because these days, you just never know if you have been hacked.

I deleted without opening it as soon as I saw the header and then the sender address.

I get a couple of those a week. Also from my banks. I delete and then sign into the real site(s) and find, surprise, no problems or messages.

Poor customer service? Don't get mad; get video.
