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 anchor text appears as a legitimate URL, but don't be fooled - clicking on it will take you to a phishing site!


  • 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.

PayPal is constantly working to ensure
security by regularly screening the accounts

reviewed your account, and we need more
information to help us provide you with
secure service. Until we can collect
this information, your access to sensitive
account features will be limited. We would
like to restore your access as
soon as possible, and we apologize for the
inconvenience.
