After received HSBC Phising email , I received other Paypal scam.
But right now,the scammer a bit stupid :),they are not doing good like HSBC scammer in last few days.
This kind of scam has been around for a long time. They send an email to you and telling you there’s a problem with your PayPal account and they command you to login to solve the problem.

But to prevent your account stealing by this thief,you can check details below.

1.Email Header

When you see sender email address on email header ,you should know directly if this email is scam activity.

2.They write real good and exactly Paypal email contents,but beware do not click on “Click here to activate your account” link.Why?
Now just move over your mouse cursor to that link and you will see landing page did not send you to paypal address.

Link on status bar when you move over your mouse on “Click here to activate your account” link.

So what to do if you receive an email like this

• DO NOT OR EVEN TRY respond to the email or enter any personal information. If you’ve already entered information, quickly reported to Paypal.
• Forward the email to spoof@paypal.com and PayPal will immediately work to shut down the scam site.
• Forward the email to spam@uce.gov and The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will place your email in a database and use the combined information to track down and prosecute the scammer.
