What are some internet scams? I had a scary experience with a scam using PayPal's information.?

Spoof emails are very easy to spot. Their salutations will not address you by name. They will say "Dear PayPal member" or "Dear Customer", or something like that. NEVER click on a link in one of these emails. You should change your password ASAP!

There is a major paypal scam. If you get any email from someone claiming to be paypal, think back to whether or not you have had recent activity with them. A spoof email will always ask you to click a link and enter your information. DONT DO IT. Always forward those emails to the real paypal site. I received a legit paypal emai today concerning my expiring credit card and my card is indeed about to expire. Note that this email DID NOT have a link to click. They told me to go to the paypal website and update not to respond to that email which is what fake ones always ask for.

A very good rule is never click on a link from an email of that sort. If it sounds like it might be a legitimate concern, navigate to the site by typing the URL in your browser and check it out from there.

Paypal never ask users for personal information via e-mail. Another hint, always check your status bar when you hover above a link in an e-mail. If the web address doesn't start with http://www.paypal.com/ or https://www.paypal.com/ it is a fake, fraudulent link.

PayPal will in no way ask you to grant any own advice in an e-mail. sounds like a scam to me. once you receive emails from them, the great element to do is to log into your account from a sparkling window.

Another one is when someone e-mails you from another country saying that a "relative" of yours died outside the country and you're the only one they could find to give the inheritance to (usually around a million dollars), they usually claim to be the "relative's" attorney . And that you can inherit the money if you send them some money for legal fees(like a couple thousand dollars). My ex almost fell for this, luckily she told me about it, before it was too late. I didn't believe it, because the person couldn't spell, used poor grammar, and couldn't spell my surname right, and I had never heard of my so called "relative."

Paypal will only send you emails with your full name included. All others are false, and you should forward them to spoof@paypal.com.

They investigate all fradulent emails, and shut down the links associated with them.
