NormanH Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I had this in my email this morning...obviously I didn't do any of the things requested, but what was worrying is that I received it the email that I use for my inactive PayPal account[url=https://ibb.co/9VYYWkG][img]https://i.ibb.co/vQzzk6D/Screenshot-2020-05-10-16-54-14.png[/img][/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Seems odd, Norman. But definitely phishing. Original though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 We often get paypal phishing and ignore them. IF we are worried we open the paypal account and see if there are any messages on the account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomoss Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 What Idun said. Look in your PP account for any messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NormanH Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 Thanks...it is sitting idle because I never feel very comfortable with it: this hasn't helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judith-aka-Judith Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I once had a Paypal account, which I decided to close because I was fed up of getting real, but numerous emails from them. I also had severe doubts about their privacy because of the number of scams I got .. easy to spot as they always came via my French email and I used my UK email for Paypal ... This above certainly looks like a scam, cleverer than most though it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loiseau Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Deffo dodgy, Norman.1. Doesn’t address you by name2. Full of threats if you don’t respond quickly3. Click on Reply and then look at what the sender's email address is. Usually something rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 On a lighter note, I learned early on in the lockdown that phishing is called hameçonnage! Either the bank or one of our insurance companies sent me an email with that word and a helpful explanation[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loiseau Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 What a wonderful word, mint! Thanks. Will try and drop it into a conversation one day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxadrets Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 My dog, Henry, has twice swallowed a hameçon!I shall never forget that word. Henry was attracted by the fishy smell, I think. The veterinary treatment was expensive, to say the least.Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
