Last week there was an e-mail come to my inbox. It was from ‘PayPal’. A warning e-mail which told me about my PayPal account has been limited. Soon I open that e-mail and read it carefully. And in that e-mail there was an instruction which ask me to check my account through the url which include in that e-mail.
But I have some suspicious because of these reasons :
1. The ‘PayPal’ e-mail address is different with an official PayPal e-mail address.
2. The url which include in that e-mail is not an official PayPal url.
So I am sure that this was a fake e-mail from fake PayPal. And somebody tried to phishing me. Lucky me because I use Mozilla Firefox browser which can prevent from fake website that use to phishing. So for you who don’t know what is phishing, you might read my short description about phishing here.
Now I’ll warn you. Beware of the phishing! Especially if you are often make electronic transactions over the internet. Because commonly phishing always attack online banking and online/electronic transaction such as PayPal, eBay or online banking. You might imagine what phisher can do if they have your important data about your online/electronic account. They might be transfer all of your funds to their account so you don’t have anything left.
