Hi everyone, I thought I''d just share an experience I had this week to hopefully prevent someone else from being scammed.
I received and e-mail from Paypal saying that my account had limited access and to click on the resolution center link to enable my access. Everything was very official/PAYPAL looking. I followed the link, and could have swore I was in PAYPAL, even though I had a gut feeling that something was odd. The next day my bank called and said I was a victim of identity theft
. Someone had been making charges with my debt card in Bocaraton. Luckily, the bank caught it and called me!
I''ve heard of these scams before...I''m very computer savy...I work in IT and I still got scammed!
I just wanted to bring this to your attention so you don''t do what I did. If you get any e-mails from PAYPAL, call them to verify. Or, send the e-mail directly to [email protected]. They will tell you if it is legitimate, or not.
