Beware of fraud paypal site
Whenever I received messages saying that my PayPal has a problem, I will always check the link by rolling the mouse over the link. I never click on other links when it comes to PayPal. PayPal equals money, so I am extra careful.
PayPal correct link is:
International: http://paypal.com/
Malaysia: http://www.paypal.com/my
In the case of the phishing site, the link has dot net extension; http://paypal.net.
Here’s the message that they sent, look convincing but it’s not from the real PayPal. If they ask you to download the form and fill in, DO NOT. Instead, report the site to Paypal.
Dear PayPal account holder,
PayPal is constantly working to ensure security by regularly screening the accounts in our system. We have recently determined that different computers have tried logging into your PayPal account,and multiple password failures were present before the logons. Until we can collect secure information, your access to sensitive account features will be limited. We would like to restore your access as soon as possible, and we apologize for the inconvenience.
Download and fill out the form to resolve the problem and then log into your account.
Thanks ,
PayPal
Just a cartoon to brighten up your day, hopefully. A laugh is all I need. Thanks.

I will straight send the email to spambox if I received anything about my paypal and then login to my paypal at my usual link to check.

Excellent tips especially nowadays, paypal is used every where. Whenever there’s an email from Paypal, make sure the link leads to paypal.com. Anything else is not from Paypal. A better idea is to not click on any link inside an email. Just go to paypal’s official website and login from there and if there’s any problem, you will see it when you login.
I read a lot about paypal because I’m using paypal for my perfume biz. 🙂
