RECENTLY I HAVE RECEIVED AS MANY AS TWO EMAILS TO MY EMAIL ADDRESS FROM SPOOOFERS ATTEMPTING TO OBTAIN PERSONAL INFO BY STATING " A PERSON WITH A JUNO EMAIL ADDRESS HAS BEEN ADDED TO MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT, AND STUPID ME, I ALMOST CLICK ON THE LINK THAT SAYS IF I DID NOT AUTHORIZE THIS CHANGE OF EMAIL ADDRESSES, CLICK LINK BELOW OR CALL PAYPAL SECURITY SUPPORT. SEEMS LEGITIMATE HUH, NOT THE CASE! IF YOU CLICK THE LINK IT ASKS FOR PAYAPL EMAIL ADDRESS AND PASSWORD SO BE CAREFUL. , ALWAYS BE AWARE....... THE EMAILS ALWAYS START OUT WITH YOUR FULL NAME WHICH IS SCARY.....AND EVEN RECENTLY THESE PEOPLE HAVE USED LINES LIKE "DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL CONTACT EBAY SECURITY" WHICH GIVES YOU A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY AND THAN THEY PROVIDE A LINK THAT ASKS FOR YOUR EBAY ID AND PASSWROD! COME ON FOLKS........PLEASE DONT RESPOND TO THESE PEOPLE INSTEAD COPY AND PASTE AND SEND TO SPOOF AT EBAY. I RECEIVED AN EMAIL YESTERDAY THAT LOOKED PAYPAL OFFICIAL...HOWEVER IT STATED THAT IF I DIDNT ADD THIS EMAIL ADDRESS TO MY ACCOUNT, WHICH WAS A EMAIL ADDRESS FROM JUNO, PLEASE CONTACT PAYPAL SECURITY AND THAN THERE WAS A LINK AND IF YOU CLICK THE LINK IT ASKS FOR PAYPAL ID AND PASSWORD.......AND AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS EMAIL IT STATED IF YOU THINK THIS EMAIL IS FAKE PLEASE CONTACT PAYPAL AND IT GIVES A PEROSN A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY AGAIN......THE FIRST THING YOU SHOULD DO IS ALWAYS SAVE EMAIL GO DIRECTLY TO PALPAL OR EBAY AND CHECK EBAY MAIL AND IF IT IS IN YOUR PEROSNAL EBAY MAIL IT IS OFFICIAL IF NOT THERE CONSIDER IT SPOOF OR PHISHING AND FORWARD THAT EMAIL TO EBAY WITH PAYPAL THEY HAVE A GREAT SECURITY CENTER TO CONTACT TO VERIFY ANYTHING THAT IS SPOOF/PHISHING AND TAKE ACTION VERY FAST TO PROTECT YOU....ALWAYS CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD AT LEAST EVERY 4 WEEKS OR LESS AND NEVER USE SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER INSTEAD USE BIRTHDAYS OF KIDS OR PARENTS WITH TWO NUMBERS OR LETTERS AT THE END MAKING YOUR PASSWORD VERY DIFFICULTY TO BREAK......THERE ARE EBAYERS THAT EVEN UE ACUTAL TRANSACTIONS TO GAIN ACCESS TO YOU AND YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION SO ALWAYS BE ON THE HIGH ALERT.......
