PAyPal Security Through EMAILS .Don't get scammed

Use this checklist to make sure your email came from
 PayPal:

 Check the greeting:
 We always address you by your first and last name, or by
 the business
 name on your PayPal account.

 Check the link before you click:
 Before you click a link in an email, hover your cursor over
 the link and
 check the web address. If the web address doesn't start
 with
 "https://www.paypal.com," don't click the link.( Try it here)

 Check for requests for your personal information:
 We?ll never use a PayPal email to ask you for any of the
 following:
 * Your bank account numbers
 * Your debit and credit card numbers
 * Your driver's license number
 * Your email addresses
 * Your full name

 Check for a shipping number request:
 Be on alert for emails that ask you to provide the shipping
 number
 before the buyer pays you.

 Check for attachments or software updates:
 We?ll never send an email with an attachment, or ask you to
 install
 software updates on your computer.

 If anything on this checklist matches your email, someone
 may be trying
 to "spoof" or "phish" your account. Spoofing and phishing
 are illegal
 attempts to steal your identity, passwords, or other
 personal or
 financial information. If you?ve already clicked on a link
 in the email
 and entered personal information, you should change your
 PayPal account
 password and security questions immediately.

 Just to be on the safe side, you should also review your
 most recent
 payment history for anything unusual or unauthorized. If
 anything on
 your account looks out of the ordinary, please let us know
 about it as
 soon as you can.

 Here?s how you can report an unauthorized transaction:

 1. Log into your PayPal account.
 2. Select "Resolution Center.?
 3. Click "Open a dispute."
 4. Select "Unauthorized transaction," and then click
 "Continue."
 5. Enter or select the transaction ID for the transaction
 you want to
 dispute, and then click "Continue."
 6. Complete the report for Unauthorized Use on a PayPal
 Account, and
 then click "Continue."
 7. Confirm that the claim is correct, and then click
 "Submit."

 To learn more about protecting your account, click
 "Security Center" on
 any PayPal webpage.
