I recently received one of these “PayPal” phishing e-mails, and these guys are becoming much more sophisticated! It sounded very businesslike and contained no grammatical errors. Of course, it did contain clues to its fraudulent nature; but many people don’t know what to look for and need to be informed about how to recognize these attempts to steal their identitiy.

I’ve written a post about my experience, in which I reproduce the entire fraudulent e-mail, point out all the clues to its inauthenticity, and provide info on where to send fraudulent PayPal e-mails, as well as a link to a site that gives info on how to recognize spoof websites, how to tell whether a website is secure, and what to look for in phishing e-mails. Here’s the link: http://www.writersnotes.net/warning-watch-out-for-phishing-emails/.

Hope this comment won’t get buried in your archives where it won’t do anyone any good, since this post isn’t a recent one. (I wanted to leave the comment on the post that was most relevant to the topic, as opposed to the most recent one.) This info is critical for people to be aware of so they can learn how to protect their personal information.

Keep up the great work you’re doing informing people about fraudulent attempts to obtain their private financial information!

Thanks so much for the warning!
