Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Phishing or Fake PayPal Website - www.validation-secure.com

The website: "www.validation-secure.com", is a phishing or fake PayPal website and should never be visited. The website was designed to steal your PayPal username and password, by disguising itself as the legitimate Paypal website located at: www.paypal.com. If you have received an email message with a link to the fake website, please delete it.

Remember, any attempts to sign into the fake or phishing website (validation-secure.com) with your PayPal username and password, will sent your username and password to the scammers behind the scam, who will use it to gain access to your account. So, never click on a link to sign into any of your online accounts. Always go directly to your online accounts, by typing the website address in your web browser address bar and clicking the “Go” button or pressing the "Enter" key on your keyboard.

For example:

If you want to sign into your PayPal account, type "www.paypal.com" in your web browser address bar and click the "Go" button or press the "Enter" key on your keyboard. Once you are on the website: "www.paypal.com", sign in from there or navigate to the sign-in page.

Always ensure that your web browser address bar looks like the image below when you are visiting PayPal's website:

Web browser address bar www.paypal.com:

If you have already entered your PayPal user name and password on the fake PayPal website, please change your PayPal password right now and check your PayPal account for any discrepancies.
