Paypal Emails - BEWARE

I received an Email which appeared to be from Paypal warning me of possible interferance with my account.

It looked genuine and provided a link to rectify any possible difficulty. However when you click on the link a Trojan was released

My pc security caught this and deleated it immediately. (It pays to get a good one! )

So no matter how careful you may be with Emails, (i made a mistake by opening this one), these people will find a way to scam you

Please be careful - always go direct to the site through your browser, never open through an Email link. A mistake i wont make again!

There have been a lot of those recently!! I received one where the whole entire text was a link!

There've been so many phishing scams from online banks too!!

It's always good to get a reminder!! Good job you had a great antivirus!!

I cant believe i opened it

We do all our banking on line now, i dread to think what could have happended if the Trojan had taken hold. Fortunately we have an up to date version of McAfee which saved the day.

Don't you find though - banking online - that it throws you if you receive a cheque?!!

Maybe you were having a C.R.A.F.T. moment?!! (I get them sometimes too!! )

It really was lucky!! Amazing where these things come from really!

It bugs me to no end that some people have nothing better to do than find bigger, better ways to destroy other peoples' belongings. Good thing you had a great AV program.
