The email is a \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/phishing-scams-anti-phishing-information\/\">phishing scam<\/a> \u00a0designed to steal your PayPal login details. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9162856233\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p> The criminals realize that many people who receive the email will quickly click the &#8216;dispute transaction&#8217; link in the mistaken belief that their PayPal account has been misused.<\/p>\n<p>The link opens a fake PayPal website that asks you to log in with your PayPal email address and password. Once you have &#8216;logged in&#8217;, you will be taken to a second fake page that asks for identity details and credit card information. Providing the information supposedly verifies your identity so that the payment can be cancelled.<\/p>\n<p>After you supply the information and click the &#8216;Cancel Payment&#8217; button, you will receive a final message claiming that the transaction has been successfully cancelled.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the criminals behind the scam can hijack your PayPal account and use both the account and your credit card to commit fraudulent transactions in your name.<\/p>\n<p>Note that \u00a0the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/paypal-cancel-payment-phishing-scam\/\"> details in these scam emails may vary<\/a>. Other versions \u00a0may have different transaction amounts and name different vendors. But all are designed to trick you into submitting your personal and financial information to criminals.<\/p>\n<p>Be wary of any email claiming to be from PayPal that asks you to click a link to verify account information or update details. Always login to PayPal by entering the account address into your browser&#8217;s address bar rather than by clicking a link in an email.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that genuine PayPal emails will always greet you by name. They will not use generic greetings such as &#8216;Dear Customer&#8217;. Nor will they use your email address as a greeting.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/receipt-for-payment-apple-phishing-3-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"23375\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/phishing-scam-receipt-for-payment-to-apple-store\/receipt-for-payment-apple-phishing-3-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/receipt-for-payment-apple-phishing-3-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"700,682\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"receipt-for-payment-apple-phishing-3\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/receipt-for-payment-apple-phishing-3-1-300x292.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/receipt-for-payment-apple-phishing-3-1.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/receipt-for-payment-apple-phishing-3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/receipt-for-payment-apple-phishing-3-1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/receipt-for-payment-apple-phishing-3-1-300x292.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/receipt-for-payment-apple-phishing-3-1-500x487.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/receipt-for-payment-apple-phishing-3-1-585x570.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Third Content Ad Responsive --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1909104632\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HS Net Bottom AdLinks --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\" data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\" data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p><\/br><\/br> Original Source : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/phishing-scam-receipt-for-payment-to-apple-store\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/phishing-scam-receipt-for-payment-to-apple-store\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Outline Message purporting to be from PayPal claims to be a receipt for a recent payment to the Apple store.
