Scam Alert

I had a call on my cell phone a couple weeks ago from "Amazon". The dude said a purchase of a tablet and an iphone were just charged to my account. I played along and while he was on the phone I was on the computer checking my account. Of course there were no charges. So when I called BS on his scam, he redirected. He said the charges were made from a residence in Atlanta and did I have any rental property there? At that point it was time to hang up.

Hello Bon, thanks for the heads up!

Don’t even open emails or click on anything in ones you know are BS. Highlight the sender to see where it came from first  & 9 /10 of the time, it will be some crazy address so you know it’s a scam., Trash it immediately. Opening up unknown links in emails is a primary way you can get malware. 

Always best to go straight to your account and avoid any email links like the plague.  Forward the suspect email to spoof@paypal.com so they can follow up on their end to help others avoid the same scam.

PayPal rep told me if it came from PayPal it looks like this, service@paypal.com
