Worried about PayPal Scams?

|

Peter Bromberg has a nicely written entry at his blog to giving some tips on how to detect and avoid PayPal scams.

1) First, understand how to identify a Paypal scam email. You can do that by visiting here. The most important thing to understand is that you can make a hyperlink say anything you want. It’s the underlying URL that’s important. In most email clients, if you mouse over the link, you’l get a tooltip that shows you the real link URL. If it is anything else except “https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr/?cmd=_login-run”, then you can BET its a scam.
