PayPal Scam !

[Duratec John]

Just received this in a email which had a Paypal Logo on it, but Goolge Chrome flagged the link up as Phishing Website. Which is numnag.com.

When I clicked on the sender under the PayPal it comes up with:-
PayPal <martyke@ntlworld.com>.


Yes it did have the spelling mistake.

I've had them many times, never opened them though. Any email I get supposedly from PayPal or eBay I check with that sites first. It's pretty obvious when the same email comes from "my bank" when it's 3 or 4 banking companies I don't use

Always log in though the web site and never from a link on an e-mail, then just check.

Same applies to all on-line security really.
