PayPal "phishing" email
I received the following this morning:
"Your account will be limited because we've noticed significant changes ln your account activity. As your payment processor, we need to understand these changes better.
This account Iimitation will affect your ability to:
Send or receive money
Withdraw money
Also, you won't be able to:
Remove any accounts
Remove credit cards
Close your account
What to do next
Please log in to your account and provide the requested information before January 2, 2017 through the Resolution Center. If we don't receive the information before this deadline or we notice additional significant changes in your account activity, your account access may be further limited"
This was followed by a link. As soon as I noticed it was sent to one of my email accounts that has never been associated with my PayPal accounted I realized it was fraudulent and forwarded the entire thing to [email protected]
I am posting this here because had it come in to the email address I do use for PayPal I might have been taken in - it doesn't strike me as having the usual weird syntax and unidiomatic use of English typical of these scams.
BEWARE!
Happy New Year
Patrick
