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 spoof website this email links to was not online at time of this report, but variations of the scam which link to working websites are bound to exist, so be wary! The website may have been taken down or disabled by the hosts, but quite often these websites are hosted on the personal computer of the phishers, so may only be online at certain times.


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

"This is an automated notification. "

This is an automated notification. The credit card used on your PayPal account could not be processed successfully by our system. As a result, your account will not be available until a working credit card has been entered.

====================================
ACCOUNT INFORMATION:
====================================

Account name: Stacy Morang
Registered Email:
stacy.morang@mainelegislature.org

Processing Attempted: SUB6MONTH (Free of charge)
Date Attempted: 04/21/2006

Result Code: [499] CARD IS INVALID - PLEASE USE A DEBIT CARD OR CONFIRM CARD STATUS WITH ISSUING BANK

=====================================

NOTE: As a security measure, when a card is not successfully processed for any reason, all card information is cleared off the account. You will need to have your full credit card information handy when you attempt to set up the subscription again.

Please make sure that the credit card has sufficient funds available, and then visit your account management page to add the card information again:

If you continue to have problems getting the SUB6MONTH set up, we recommend contacting your credit card company to make sure:
- You are entering information that matches.
- The card is not blocked or restricted from online charges or website usage.

======================================
