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.

Email:
