PAYPAL EMAIL SCAM "Your PayPal account has been suspended"

[spankster23]

All, not sure if this is new or has been brought up here, but I received a very official looking email this morning from SERVICE at E-PayPal.com. Which is NOT a PayPal email!

The email very convincingly tells you that there was an unauthorized use of your credit card linked to your account, and to click below to LOGIN and restore full access back to your account...

The email looks and smells, like a PP email. BUT IT IS NOT.

The sender name was SERVICE.

The scam link was from a guy using a Venezuelan college email address...

DO NOT CLICK ON ANYTHING IN THIS EMAIL...

I've had a few, there is usually a dodgy url if you go onto the login page, or as you said a suspicious looking unofficial email address.

If if I get one of those I go out of email and open PayPal site where there would be a notification

HINT: PP will always use your name in any email.
