Dtsag ... the ongoing advice remains ... still ... NEVER click open e-affixed links to sites ... even if familiar to you. Always type in the desire site location. That particular Paypal e-mail has been sent to me several times these past 12 months ... and I don't even have an account with Paypal. Regardless, I think it's wiser to assume that such contacts are not in your best interests.
New scam on the internet????
I think I have experienced a new scam thru the email today, so I would like to warn you all.
The email is posted as a invoice from Paypal (service@paypal.com) indicating that a transaction has gone thru with an individual in the amount of $300. It looks like a real thing with all the detail on it. At the bottom of the invoice, there is a "DISPUTE TRANSACTION" button.
I thought my Paypal account may have been hecked so I click on that button and it brings me to the Paypal log-on screen asking for password. A thought came to my mind. I opened a new windows and go to the Paypal site directly and lon-on from there. I didn't see the "NEW" transaction. OK. Case closed.
Someone just try to steal your Paypal password if you log-on thru their link.
So beware!!!
