Just got an email from paypal saying someone abroad has been trying to access my paypal account and it told me to log to click on the link and log in to stop my account been suspended.
Knowing that dodgy thieving gits will try anything to get you to hand over your account details I just clicked on the link to see what address would come up, yes it looks like paypal but the address looks like it's masking the real address here have a look yourself

http://82.187.105.10:5254/paypal.com...r-ID/index.htm

I really need my paypal account so need to sort this out asap

cheers steve

 

its a hoax m8

NO official paypal email will ask you to log in or owt thru an email.

also, look at the address,

a true paypal one will begin with www.paypal.com and not http://paypal or http://IP-ADDRESS-HERE

 

IGNORE IT!!!!!!

 

Cheers guys, I was convinced it was, but just needed that back up that this community provides

steve

 

Deffo a hoax mate as has been said

 

its even runing loading the page from a funny port

that site is most likly coming from a hacked computer

 

report it to paypal

 

yeah be carefull of the ebay ones too, the ebay ones are copied well proper, the graphics the lot and the copyright writing. But the link to click is well wrong.

 

my ebay account got suspended because i thought it might be a fake link asking for 8.01quid lol

didnt beleve it untill i went to buy somthing

 

my m8 has had the ebay 1

 

I got two this morining.

There not trying anymore! I used to get a link www.paypal.com that actually linke to some ip adress, today the link was written as some ip addres. Onlyt an idiot would fall for that! - having said that my mate got his ebay account hijacked!

The other stupid ebay fraud is the i`ll print a check for £10,000 , take your cut, send me the remain £9,850 - yeah right!

bloody t**ts thay will try anything

 

They never know your real name so all hoaxmails starts with Dear PayPal customer, Dear eBay user or similar.

 

close.. you should watch for httpS://.....
S is for SECURE connection ..

 

turbinator, some of the dodgy sites still use https tho... 99% of people never check the security credentials of a "secure" site, it can still be using security protocols but be a dodgy website... lol

 

have you ever ever had a reply from paypal
tried there phone clone number
had to change my account to a debit card not visa payment
cos of no replys that was the last resort
considering they work one on one with ebay
customer relationship SUCKS major time
