Big Phish

Filed under: General,Personal,Security — Tags: , — Jayx @ 5:44 pm

I received an email a little earlier, informing me that my PayPal account has been suspended because I have two credit cards on the same PayPal account. I was asked to click on a link and verify my account details. Smell phishy? Hell yeah! A quick peek at the properties of the email revealed some pretty irrelevant URLs – the same goes for the link you had to click.

Obviously I didn’t click it, because (a.) I have a PayPal account but cannot activate it because (b.) I don’t have a credit card … never mind two. Obviously a phishing scam! (more…)
