Watch Out for Scammers Sending Fraud E-mails to Your #GMail or #Hotmail Account
PayPal.com continues to be a successful company building its business respectively from scratch. Since PayPal came into existence, they've successfully forged online working relationships between merchants, buyers, and those who send money over the net. The company continues to successfully battle competition and ward off fraudulent companies who try to use its name to achieve their personal online business agenda.
Have you ever received a fraudulent e-mail to your Gmail.com or Hotmail.com e-mail account telling you your PayPal account needs to be verified? Or perhaps received an e-mail telling you your account on PayPal is allegedly being used for fraud? If you're one of millions of people who have received such an e-mail, do not click any links inside those e-mails asking you to click on a link and log into your PayPal account or verify any kind of information. There are scam companies out here looking to use PayPal's name to bamboozle your information and will you try to use any and all kinds of schemes to allegedly steal your information from an e-mail if you click the link inside of it and tried to log into your PayPal account.
Recently, the founder of DrewryNewsNetwork received a fraudulent e-mail from a company whose domain name is Paypall dot com. The e-mail was sent to a Gmail account. As Gmail accounts allow you to see a snippet of the e-mail message before actually clicking on the e-mail with your computer mouse, the following contents of the e-mail says "Your PayPal account has been limited. PayPal Dear Customer, We have received your PayPal account is used for fraud." If you read closely to the beginning of the e-mail where it says "PayPal dear customer," you'll notice that's actually "bad grammar usage." How do you start off an e-mail with "PayPal dear customer?" If you're starting off an e-mail addressing someone you don't know from a can of paint, aren't you supposed to start with a formal "dear customer," and not [PayPal dear customer]? That's common sense, right? Additionally, they go want to say in the beginning of the e-mail [we have received your PayPal account is used for fraud]. That line right there tells you immediately the person has no grammar skills. Additionally, that line also says if they are a legitimate company "which they're not," anyone in their right mind reading that first line would know they have bad grammar and would never do business with them, yet alone, click any links inside of the e-mail to verify any kind of PayPal information.
The sender of the fraudulent e-mail trying to pose as PayPal is coming from the e-mail address service@paypall dot com. Please do not ever open that e-mail or go to that website addressed under no circumstances. If you go to the homepage out of curiosity, be sure all of your personal information on your computer is protected. Be sure to run a malware check on your desktop PC or laptop if you feel the need to visit that site. Be sure to use a power he race or malicious removal tool. You can find one by performing a search in your favorite search engine under the search term "PC malicious removal power eraser tool," and your search engine should give you some pretty good results. Download the most reputable once your PC as it should be free of charge before visiting that site mentioned above.
When visiting that site, the domain name will redirect you to another domain, which will then allegedly redirect you possibly to a third domain address. There is no content on any of those domains and the sites time out. This is why it's important to use your "malware malicious removal tool," and run a scan on your computer to remove any cookies or Trojans that may try to potentially infect your computer before visiting that site out of curiosity.
If you ever receive fraudulent e-mails from companies trying to pose as PayPal and unsure if you should open the e-mail, take time to hover your computer mouse over the name of the sender, but do not click on it. If your computer mouse cursor arrow is exactly on the sender's name of the e-mail fraudulently posing as PayPal and the e-mail address does not show, do not open the e-mail under any circumstances. Additionally, you can also find out if the sender of the e-mail is a fraud after hovering your computer mouse cursor over the sender's name if they have a number before the name PayPal.
