I received an email from someone posing as PayPal. They gave me a link to update my credit information. I was not cautious. I did give my information. I am currently trying to cancel that credit card. I am worried what they might do with my information. What can I do to protect myself now?

Thanks for your help

Laura B.

We are receiving phone calls from an entity that identifies themselves as Paypal. They have left phone messages. We do not have a Paypal account. When we return the call, they want personal information like my husband's birthdate. We refuse and the call ends. But we receive more messages from them. We checked with Paypal, and they say it is not them.

Received an email from PayPal or posing as PayPal reporting higher risk activity in my PayPal account. Requested you login to PayPal through link and update account info. Name, address, cc on file, and social security number. It takes you into what looks like your pay pal account.

Definite scam as soon as I updated the cc # I had fraudulent activity on my cc account.

A man answered my 'vehicle 4 sale' advert with an email which included a suspicious link. The link supposedly went to his PayPal account. What if this link spoofed the real PayPal website where I would be asked to open a PayPal account which might not be real? What if the fake link asked for my personal information, setting me up for ID theft?

<[email protected]>Dear Valued User, An intrusion from an un-authorized user have triggered our Secure Login Feature (Auto-geolocation analysis shows that it wasn't you). Currently, your account is limited. When PayPal limits your account, it means that you won't be able to do certain things with your account; you might not be able to send or withdraw money (temporarily). PayPal may limit your account as a security measure to protect you and your account. Access limitation is taken as a pre-caution. PayPal have provided a form (see attachment) to verify your account. You may download and fill in the form. PayPal will restore your access back to normal after your form is checked and your account is verified. We thank you for your attention to this matter. If you still have questions about account limitations, contact customer service by clicking Contact at the bottom of any PayPal page. </[email protected]>

E-mail from PayPal suggesting I sent payment of 95 euro, asking for confirmation I sent it. "Click here to cancel the payment immediately" and "Enter all your personal information to your account".

Received an email telling me I have to confirm my account information within 48 hours, and that my account has been temporarily frozen in order to protect it. They asked me to click on the link and follow instructions to help protect me in the future, and that the process will take 3 minutes. They agree to un-freeze the account once the information is updated. I do not have a PayPal account.
