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/row/fq/ac=AwJ-RuvSFTGa 4bxlyrysLp30USCiBpoj4PUKxXYf-xO2MTEuP0HxHd9txd fP.wel.1EK9ch2ilrriA&t=pr".
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual PayPal URL.
