The apparent latest PayPal scam

[Alphathree33]

Someone's latest scam, kind of pathetic... they ask for your bank account pin number in the form... yeah, right:

The inactive customers are subject to restriction and removal in the next 3 months.

Please confirm your email address and credit card information by logging in to your PayPal account using the form below:

The pathetic thing is people actually fall for that crap. I usually just enter in random numbers and write something nasty in those forms 🙂

Make sure you forward it to Paypal and contact the host of the site to have ti taken down

if someone falls for that, they shouldnt have a paypal account, let alone credit card, in the first place

the thing is they aren't targeting the technical saavy like us, they are targeting Grandma Smith, who thought it would be nice to paypal their grandkids some birthday money.

Hi Alphathree33,

Thank you for posting the warning about information we would NOT ask for in an email. In addition, all email correspondence from PayPal would reflect your first and last name.
