Instead of demanding that recipients click a link, this scam takes a more subtle approach. The scammers know that at least a few recipients, panicked into believing that their PayPal account has been used to make an unauthorised purchase, will discover and click the &#8220;Manage\/Cancel&#8221; link near the bottom of the email. \u00a0 \u00a0This approach may make the email seem more legitimate to many potential victims.<\/p>\n<p>If you do click the &#8220;cancel&#8221; link, you will be taken to a fraudulent website that has \u00a0been designed to closely emulate a genuine PayPal login. After &#8220;logging in&#8221; on the fake site, you will be taken to a second page that \u00a0asks you to supply your name and address details, your date of birth, your credit card numbers, \u00a0 and other identifying information.<\/p>\n<p>After you hit the &#8220;Cancel Payment&#8221; button on the bogus form, all of the information that you supplied will be collected by criminals and used to hijack your PayPal account, commit credit card fraud, and steal your identity.<\/p>\n<p>This &#8220;cancel \u00a0payment&#8221; ruse is a common scammer tactic. Details in these emails <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/paypal-cancel-payment-phishing-scam\/\">vary considerably<\/a>. Different versions will list different products, sellers, purchase \u00a0amounts, and other \u00a0details. But, all of them are designed to trick people into clicking the &#8220;cancel payment&#8221; link and divulging their personal information to criminals.<\/p>\n<p>If you receive \u00a0an email that appears to be from PayPal and claims that you have \u00a0made a payment you know nothing about, do not click any links \u00a0that it contains.<\/p>\n<p>It is always safest to access your PayPal account by entering the address into your browser&#8217;s address bar or via an official PayPal app. And, keep in mind that genuine PayPal emails will ALWAYS address you by name. They will NEVER omit your name from the \u00a0greeting or address you with a generic greeting such as &#8220;Dear Customer&#8221; or your email address.<\/p>\n<p>PayPal has information about <a title=\"Paypal - Watch out for hoaxes, phishing and scams\" href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/au\/webapps\/mpp\/phishing\">phishing scams and how to report them<\/a> on its website.<\/p>\n<p>\n<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>\n<p><\/br><\/br> Original Source : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/you-sent-a-payment-paypal-scams-continue\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/you-sent-a-payment-paypal-scams-continue\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Outline Emails that appear to be from PayPal claim that the recipient has purchased an expensive item or service and has sent a payment for the item to the merchant.
