PayPal Pfishing - Possibly?

Post #271,259 by gdaustin 10/25/06 12:50:40 PM Reply	PayPal Pfishing - Possibly? Beware of Pfishing here. I get a lot of account terminated messages from Pfishing sites looking my account info. If you look at the URL you are being referred to, it's .be, .ru or just an IP address. It's never "really" PayPal. Log directly into the PayPal site to do anything. Don't EVER go off of a link from an email. This could be your problem if you've answered any of these emails for PayPal or eBay. The pfunny part about it is that I haven't done anything on PayPal in 2 years and my CC has long since expired, but I get at least 1 a week on 3 of my email accounts. I've never even registered 2 of the accounts. The Pfishing emails are bad for eBay info as well. Don't be fooled!!!! Glen Austin

I've seen the phishing attempts. This is not one of them, or if it is, it's very, very good. A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. (Herm Albright)

But then I always cut-n-paste the links into a text editor first, to see the whole thing. They are getting better and better. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Freedom is not FREE.

They have sent me instructions for clearing. May just close it and create a new account, would be easier...
