Beware of these PayPal emails

[hemi68charger]

Hey gang.. I'm at work and checked my personal email from here and came across this Fraud of an email.. In general, and I'm sure most of you know this, but there's a person who's designed a web page that duplicates the real PayPal website. If or when you may click this, it appears all legit.. They are very clever in captureing for themselves the real webpage....Then, it requests financial info to "update" your PayPal account...  That's bull... PayPal doesn't work that way.. I have the ability to take a screen print from my UNIX machine here at work. Notice the first image, it's the fake one with an URL of:

http://www.chikakude.com/yuubin/bash/primapagina.php

and the real one is simply:

https://www.paypal.com/

Notice the reasonable paypal real url address and the "s" after the http....... That means secure site whereas the other one doesn't have it...

Just thought I'd pass this on...  So, beware...

Those have been circulating for a while. They are pretty tricky. I never click an email link to any wesite that requires a password or has personal information. I always access the site through my favorites or manually enter the address. If they need information from you it will show up when you log into the legitimate website. It's a shame there are people out there preying on unsuspecting folks.

They will always be out there.  the electronic era has produced a entire new line of thiefs.

It's easy for me to spot the scams because they spam the wrong email address...

I delete so many scam emails it's unbelievable. It's at a point where anything that comes to me by email, & I mean ANYTHING at all, I delete it & don't respond to it. It could even be a legit email, but I know when I'm expecting something from someone & will only answer those. I just love the "Answer ASAP or Your Account Will be Terminated Immediately" attitude they sometimes have.

I've gotten 3 of those so far, but my e-mail virus blocker catches it first, so I never open them.
Unfortunately, I also can't forward them to Paypal's fraud dept either.
