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 has been chosen to look very similar to the actual PayPal URL. Do not be fooled!

"PayPal has recently made several important changes to our User Agreement and Privacy Policy."
|
PayPal has recently made several important changes to our User Agreement and Privacy Policy. Please read the new User Agreement and Privacy Policy, because they contain important information about your PayPal account, your rights as a PayPal user, and the ways in which PayPal will use your personal information.
After you have reviewed the User Agreement and Privacy Policy below, please choose the "Yes" radio buttons and click Continue.
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr? cmd=_login-run
If you fail to read and agree to the new User Agreement within 120 days, PayPal will assume you do not accept PayPal's User Agreement and prefer not to do business with PayPal. In such circumstances, after providing additional notice, PayPal will limit your access to your PayPal account and will payout any remaining account balance under the terms of the old User Agreement.
Note: The User Agreement below will take immediate effect for all PayPal accounts signing up on or after February 7, 2005. PayPal accounts who signed up prior to February 7, 2005, will have 120 days after the date they next log in to their PayPal account to decide whether they agree to the new User Agreement. These accounts will continue to be governed by the old User Agreement until they agree to the new User Agreement, or until January 1, 2006, whichever comes first.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
PayPal Account Review Team
