Default Suspicious Email – A fake Business technique

I must say that my experience with Paypal is cool. I have been receiving my regular monthly payments from a postal survey company in the form of paypal funds. I have no issues with paypal.

However, let me inform you that recently I have received two emails stating that I am supposed to login into my paypal account with regard to some up-gradation from Paypal. I did not act on this email because I found it suspicious. The email was addressed to me as Dear Paypal member. Also I did not posses my paypal account with that particular email address which the email suggested me to check as my paypal account.

you need to beware about such emails, paypal always notifies you with your name before the email, so remember that fact always. never open links of strange emails.

and its not a business technique, its pure fraud

Phishing with paypal and eBay and affiliated companies is fairly prevelant.

When running an eBay store I got them regularly in different formats.

If you are suss, type in the domain name in a new window and log in from the actual site to see if it mentions the information in suspect email.

Never click on the links in a suspect email!
