Almost Kena Tipu
Friday, April 20th, 2007When I logged into my Inbox just now, and checked my Bulk folder (some of my emails always end up in here), I noticed I got 5 emails from Paypal. The title of the email:
Your Account Access Has Been Limited
OMG! I went straight into panic mode! I thought, die loh if my account is limited! Cannot receive my blogging money! (Read about this problem recently on MENJ’s blog)
This is what the email looks like:
I almost, ALMOST logged in from the link given, but luckily Firefox informed me that the particular URL is fake! TQ Firefox!
I closed all my Firefox window, and logged in again. This time I manually open Paypal to my account, and found that it’s in normal order. No warning of limited account or whatever.
Then I read about the fraudulent email link from Paypal. Obviously this has been going around for quite some time, and if we were to receive fake emails from Paypal, then we’re supposed to send it to spoof [at] paypal [dot] com.
So I did, and pretty soon after that, I received an email back from Paypal that it’s not them.
Phew!
So to all of you who have yet to read the link of Paypal’s fraudulent emails, please do so now so you can distinguish between the fake and real Paypal emails.
