For those with a Paypal account
Their is a email floating around disguised as Paypal trying to get your email address and password if you click on the activate button on the email it will pull up an identical paypal page. It Then asks you to enter your email address ( I entered a fake email address) then it asks for your password. (I entered a fake one here) Then it asks for you to verify your credit card information.
Now I know it won't fool almost all of us but I thought I would share it with the community. I have already reported it to Paypal. This is the body of the email. Oh I also changed all my login information afterwards. IF THIS IS INNAPROPRIATE PLEASE REMOVE. Fabe![]()

Hello,
We recently noticed more attempts to log in to your PayPal account from a foreign IP address.
If you accessed your account while traveling, the unusual log in attempts may have been initiated by you.
However, if you are the rightful holder of the account, please visit Paypal as soon as possible to verify your identity:
Click "Activate" to verify your account (It only takes a minute.)
- Another way to activate your account: (THERE IS A YELLOW ACTIVATE BUTTON HERE}
You can also verify your account by logging into your PayPal account at: (AND A PAYPAL IP ADDRESS HERE}
If you choose to ignore our request, you leave us no choose but to temporally suspend your account.
We ask that you allow at least 24 hours for the case to be investigated and we strongly recommend to verify your account in that time.
Thank you for using PayPal!
The Paypal Team
