Ahojte,

už druhý-krát som dostal z "PayPalu" email, ktorý vyzerá ako podvodný na vylákanie prihlasovacích údajov. Prikladám ho nižšie, je v nemčine, odoslaný z emailu stefangaertner@alice-dsl.net, pričom v emaily sa adresa zobrazuje ako PayPal, takže pozor:

Kontaktoval som aj PayPal a odpísali mi toto, pričom som vybral len najpodstatnejšie informácie:

- The email uses a generic greeting like 'Dear user' or 'Hello, PayPal member’. We always address you by your first name and last name or the business name on your PayPal account.
- The email requests financial and other personal information. For example, an email from PayPal never asks for the numbers of your bank account, debit or credit card, or driver's license. We also do not request your email addresses, your full name, your account password, or the answers to your PayPal security questions.
- The email includes an attachment, a software update to install on your computer, or a hyperlink.

If you think you’ve received a phishing email, please forward it to spoof@paypal.com. Then delete the fake email from your inbox.

I have listed some security tips below to help you stay protected online:

- PayPal will never ask you to provide the tracking number of a posted item before receiving payment into your PayPal account
- Never give your PayPal password to anyone
- PayPal will never ask you for financial information via email.
- When using the PayPal service, always ensure that the URL address listed at the top of the browser displays as https://www.paypalcom - The 's' ensures that the website is secure.

Even if the URL contains the word 'PayPal', it may not be a PayPal webpage.

Also, look for the 'lock' symbol that appears in the lower right hand corner of the browser. This symbol indicates that the site you are visiting is secure.
