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 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.

Dear PayPal Customer,

This email was sent randomly by the PayPal server to Verify Your Identity. This is done for your protection --- only you, the real owner of this email can take the next step in the verification test.

To confirm you are the real owner of the paypal account associated with this email address and avoid your account being limited, follow these steps:

1. Click on the link below. If nothing happens when you click on the link (or if you use AOL), copy and paste the link into the address bar of your web browser.

https://www.paypal.com/row/fq/ac=AwJ-R uvSFTGa4bxlyrysLp30USCiBpoj4PUKxXYf-xO 2MTEuP0HxHd9txdfP.wel.1EK9ch2ilrriA&t=pr

The link will take you to our Verify Your Identity page.

2. On the Verify Your Identity page, answer ALL of the questions, and click Login.

If you do not complete the verification test in the next 48 hours, your account will be limited untill you call the PayPal Security Center.

Thank you for choosing PayPal!

The PayPal Security Team
