Paypal scam emails

This morning I saw something I haven’t seen for a long time, a scam email purporting to be from Paypal.

It arrives headed “Suspicious Activity” but when you look at it, not only is it addressed to ‘undisclosed recipients’ (which Paypal would never do), the address it comes from is clearly visible as ghana(at)payprt(dot)com (symbols converted to words by me).

I forwarded the copy sent to me to spoof@paypal.com and anyone else who receives one should do the same.

DO NOT FALL FOR THIS and NEVER click on a link in an email which claims to be from Paypal.

With any luck, Paypal will be able to track the sender and have them arrested.
