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/us/securitytips".

The REAL URL of the spoof website has been chosen to look very similar to the actual PayPal URL. Do not be fooled!
