Thread: Is This A Paypal Scam???

And besides, the link to supposedly 'activate' your account goes to:

Code:

http://server.netting .com.tw/PayPal.Online.Accounts.com/cgi-bin/webscrcmd_login.php

which is definetally not a PayPal website/login.

If you click the link, nothing's the matter, just DO NOT ENTER IN YOUR USERNAME/PASSWORD. It may be best to clear your temp files and run a virus/spyware scan just to be on the safe side, as the website may contain harmful content, such as trojans or keyloggers.

Also, NEVER enter in a username/password directly into an email. For example, I was one time prompted to enter in my PayPal username and password right in the email and click the Login button, obviously it's a scam, PayPal would never ask you to login right from your email. Rather, it would tell you to go to their website to login, where it's https:// (secure).

the link above definitely is not from paypal
