Danger! mzxmv .com is a fake PayPal Website that Steals Account Credentials

PayPal users, do not visit the website mzxmv .com because it is a fake or phishing PayPal website created by cybercriminals. The cybercriminals who created the fake website trick potential victims into visiting it by sending them an email like the one below, which claims that access to their accounts have been limited because they have been accessed by a third party. The fake email then asks the recipients to click on a link in it to visit a fake PayPal website, where their account credentials (usernames and passwords) will be stolen by the same cyber-criminals if they attempt to sign-in. The cyber-criminals will then use the stolen credentials to hijack their victims’ PayPal accounts and use the accounts fraudulently.

Activity unauthorised access

We have reason to believe that your account was accessed by a third party. Because protecting the security of your account is our primary concern, we have limited access to sensitive PayPal account features.You can resolve your limitation by following these simple steps.

Log In Now

Paypal users should always go directly to www.paypal.com and sign into their accounts when they receive email notifications, instead of clicking on the links in the same email notification. Once they have sign-in, they will be notified of changes or updates. Doing this will prevent PayPal users from becoming victims of phishing scams.

PayPal users, who were tricked by the phishing email messages, should change their passwords immediately and check their accounts for discrepancies, and report those discrepancies (if there is any) to PayPal.
