PayPal Pishing Scam

November 2nd, 2008

If you ever received any “Please restore your account access” email , something that looks like being sent from PayPal…just don’t click on any links from the email.

Better open a new page and login into your PayPal account and check if everything it’s fine… Don’t click on the email links…they will send you to a fake website where you’ll be asked to login so the idiots will steal your login details.

The email might look like this one:

"Dear (your name here),

As part of our security measures, we regularly screen activity
in the PayPal system. We recently contacted you after noticing an
issue on your account.

We requested information from you for the following reason:

A recent review of your account determined that
we require some additional information from you
in order to provide you with secure service.

Case ID Number: PP-479-484-373

This is a second reminder to log in to PayPal as
soon as possible. Once you log in, you will be
provided with steps to restore your account access.

Be sure to log in securely by using the following link:
Click here to login and restore your account access

Once you log in, you will be provided with steps
to restore your account access. We appreciate your
understanding as we work to ensure account safety.

In accordance with PayPal's User Agreement, your account
access will remain limited until the issue has been
resolved. Unfortunately, if access to your
account remains limited for an extended period of time,
it may result in further limitations or eventual account
closure. We encourage you to log in to your
PayPal account as soon as possible to help avoid this.

To review your account and some or all of the information
that PayPal used to make its decision to limit your account
access, please visit the Resolution Center. If, after reviewing
your account information, you seek further clarification
regarding your account access, please contact PayPal by visiting
the Help Center and clicking "Contact Us".

We thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Please understand that this is a security measure intended to
help protect you and your account. We apologize for
any inconvenience.

Sincerely,
PayPal Account Review Department
