Be Alert for Phishing Attemps in Paypal Especially for Mobile Users

Early in the morning of Dec. 06, I received this email from my mobile phone. I ignored it and went to bed again. I totally forgot it till  I recalled about this email at noon time, I opened it using desk top. The view is totally different and clearer. OMG! Luckily, I didn't just clicked it. I suspected it as a phishing email because I am pretty sure that I have no transactions at ebay on that day. See how it looks, we all need to be extra careful with our financial. I might lost this amount in just one click! I reported it to paypal and yeah, it's a phishing email.

The email copy that I received

I logged on to my paypal account and manually cancelled the request

I reported the incident to paypal via email

Paypal confirmed that it's a phishing attempt

Take note that even you don't have any balance in your paypal account, the amount will automatically be charged to your debit or credited card associated to your paypal account.


So be careful!
