Just checking my email and i got one from paypal saying i needed to update my profile information or something, but i dont even use paypal nor have i set up an account
So i clicks on the link and this come up


well done Firefox(the best web browser)

And beware Paypal users, although im sure people have heard of paypal being exploited before but for those who have been living under a rock..............

 

i had 1878 quid nicked from my paypal two weeks ago,

did get it back 7 days later

 

look at the web address in the bar....

doesn't look like paypal.com to me

 

you know what, thats a good point but some people might not notice if they dont get a big fck off warning message like i got on firefox

 

Firefox to the rescue

Firefox rules

Thats gotta be the first time in about a year since ive got a message like that, so ive been lucky it seems

 

url and lack of secure server (eyesight isnt brilliant)

 

errrr.... the biggest clue it was a con, apart form fake URL etc. etc. was that you don't even have a PayPal account....

 

And if you do have paypal you'll know that they say on their site they won't send out emails like this.. so you know if you get one like I did - saying that a transaction had failed and I needed to update my credit card details by clicking on this dodgy link - that its a fake..
