[Oe List ...] [Dialogue] PayPal Scam

[Tracy E. Longacre]

You probably get millions of these but haven't seen them because your spam
filter keeps them away from you. 

 

If you do get a message like this that might be legitimate, the thing to
ALWAYS do is NOT click on any given link, but rather sign on to the service
(Paypal or Bank) as you normally do and review your account or send a
message to customer service from there.

 

You can always tell the bank ones are bogus 'cause you get them from banks
where you have never done business!

I have received this email several times.  PayPal requests that you forward
them to spoof at paypal.com.  They actively pursue them.  I have also received
similar requests designed to look as though they are coming from my bank
purporting to want to "update" my account information.  Beware!!

I have recently started receiving payments for The Directory through PayPal.
The other day I received an email, supposedly from PayPal, asking for a lot
of information for my account.  I balked when they got to asking for some
password information for ATM, etc. and deleted the whole thing.  In
discussion with some teachers at the high school where I substitute, they
said, "Oh yes, this is a scam that's been going on for some time, didn't you
know about it?"  

 

Just in case I'm not the last person on earth to hear about such a scam,
Judith urged me to put this alert out to the Dialogue.  She is the Dialogue
person in the family.  I'm the Directory person.

 

Grace and Peace,
