Be careful... This thing had me fooled, but luckily I don't have a Paypal account.
Below is the web site I was directed to....Sorry I haven't figured out how to post a link yet. The link in the e-mail was "paypal.com/xxxxxxxxxx..(I deleted the e-mail, and don't remember the full address) When I checked my history this is the address that gets you there.....What ever you do if you go to the site. Warning DO NOT LOGIN http://www.hymca.or.kr/bbs/ver.ph |

The link in the e-mail was "paypal.com/bin....Don't remember the rest, but the address in the browser address bar matched it. I called Paypal using the phone number I got from the fake site to find out what was going on.
I was a bit paranoid because when I was on vacation in California in April someone got my Visa number and charged up $800 to my account gambling online, and it was billed through paypal. The text of the e-mail said that someone was trying to access my Paypal account using a different ip address. I was worried that someone somehow got ahold of my new Visa number again, and had set up a Paypal account with it. Man....This world is full of thieves! |
