The fake or fraudulent email message was created by cyber-criminals to trick the recipients into clicking on one of the links in it, which will take them to the fake and phishing website. The fake and phishing website, which looks exactly like the legitimate PayPal website, should not be visited and the instructions on it should never be followed, because any information submitted on it will be sent to the cyber-criminals, who will use it to hijack their victims' PayPal accounts. Persons who have already fallen victim to the phishing scam should change their PayPal passwords immediately before they are hijacked, and check their accounts for discrepancies.The PayPal Phishing Email MessageDe : PayPal [mailto: service@tman.com .tw]Envoyé : samedi 4 juin 2016 18:59Objet : [***] We're investigating a paymentPayPalDear customer,An unauthorized account activity claim was recently filed against the following transaction.Transaction ID: 2LS19057UE780664FTransaction date: june 03 2016Transaction amount: 60,01 EURInvoice ID: 100031167Your transaction ID: 2YM006313T164944ACase number: PP-004-776-376-037LOGIN NOWWe need additional information from you within the next 7 days.
