Paypal support scam alert
I got a mail today from the paypal support team.
Subject:
Your account has been limited untiI we hear from youThey ask you to click a link, DON'T!!
How do I know it's a scam?
I called my PayPal company in the Netherlands.
1. They never limited accounts
2. The never ask to click a link in e-mail messages
3. They will never send me a message in English, but only in Dutch
When you are not quite sure something is legal, just GOOGLE!
Subject lines, email adresses, signatures etc.
Never go to your Paypal, bank or other official company, using a link which was send to you by mail!
Always use the direct browser link, and look for the padlock!

I get this type of scam for these so-called PayPal as well.
I never open them up just mark as spam and trash.
There are other times when you get an email saying you have received some money and you need to click a link don't do that either.
Another scam attempt to hack into your account.
Paypal will never contact you like this.
If in doubt always best to directly link to your PayPal account and check from there.
I have reported this once before with the link but they always change their links.
Thanks for the info hope others will heed you request.
Take care be well

Good reminder Loes I also always check the email address and if it's someone's private gmail account or an unofficial email address then that's always a good indicator its a scam.
I've also had emails supposedly from my bank saying the same thing, except I don't even bank there (which is another giveaway). Unfortunately they must catch some people otherwise they wouldn't keep appearing.
Hey you .. thanks for the info... I had one of these emails in the last day or 2 but i did not open it .. i just deleted it... can be tempting to open paypal email for sure.. so this is a good heads up... thanks
