Ian W Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Guys, Got an email saying its from paypal with the attached text: "Dear [email protected], Please read carefully! You have added [email protected] as a new email address for your PayPal account. If you did not authorize this change, check with family members and others who may have access to your account first. If you still feel that an unauthorized person has changed your email, Please restore your original PayPal account email by Clicking here Thank you." Came from [email protected] Genuine or phishing? :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian W Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 I opened the email and clicked the link. Information requested seemed a little strange so didn't fill in any details requested and closed the page. No harm done I'd imagine, will forward onto paypal anyway Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Supra_boy Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Always check the sender because some people will send using dodgy email address's, and also if its in your junk mail, leave it. As far as i know any emails from paypal will come straight through to your normal inbox. I emails like that everyday! If your worried about it, Just login to paypal and check your settings because unless you've agreed to it, they cant change nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
