Comments:
  • Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at PayPal by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.


  • PayPal never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run".


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual PayPal URL.
