Attention, PayPal user! New phishing wave threatens great trouble!

The digital world is a double -edged sword. While online shopping is part of everyday routine, users of payment services such as PayPal are increasingly the goal of torn fraudsters. A current warning affects a new phishing wave that targeted PayPal users. Users receive emails with alarming subject lines such as "You must confirm your information". These emails appear harmless, but quickly turn out to be a perfidious fraud maneuver, which aims at the personal data of the recipients. As Berlin Live , the "Gastkonto-Masche" is particularly insidious because it looks professional and is therefore hardly perceived as fraud.

The consumer advice center also warned of these emails and emphasized that they are provided with official PayPal logos. The senders claim to have found unusual activities on the account and require private data to confirm. Experts from the consumer advice center have also found impersonal salutations as well as numerous spelling and grammar errors in the news that are a safe indication of fraud. According to t-online.de , a phishing attempt can be observed in about every third undesirable email, which means that users must be particularly vigilant.

Caution of fraudsters!
