Now, these scam emails have been done very professionally, and they almost look like a real deal. The emails will warn you of “unusual activity” on accounts, but that is not true of course. Even PayPal reacted to this by stating “We do contact our customers by email (e.g. for marketing purposes), however, if the email is about an account limitation, then the customer should: open their internet browser, visit www.paypal.co.uk and login. If we require the customer to take any action, we will communicate that in the secure message center.”
