PayPal is one of the most popular online payment methods in the world.
Thus, it is ripe for scams. Thieves use a variety of methods to steal
from you via PayPal, such as phishing emails, malicious
websites, fake
social media ads, and spoofed links. Often, they will send emails
regarding a problem with your account. They make these emails look so
much like real PayPal emails; customers are fooled. Always be on the
lookout for advance-fee scams using PayPal, overpayment tactics through
eBay, phishing emails, or anything that notifies you that you won a
prize or lottery. It’s probably a scam.
