Spam emails for paypal and other sites, so I'm conscious of the URL I use now.

Tweet

I have read that to be sure that you'll never reply to a spam email, especially concerning money (paypal), you have to manually type the URL into the space provided; i,e. http://www.paypal.com/ so that you'll be sure the site you're opening is real. When I did this, however; I noticed that the URL changes to https. I was unsure if it was the real URL, so I research the difference between the two and I found out that the https denotes the encrypted form, so that no one can understand the message while it is in transit. If someone happens to intercept the message while it is travelling throught the internet all they'll be getting is gibberish. When it reaches the intended recipient though, the HTML will now be translated into somethng readable. Isn't that amazing? I can't fully understand how mail is transported but suffice to know and learn that I have now to type the URL of paypal manually and directly to my URL to avoid identity theft and of course money theft. Folks take note of this significant information. Happy MyLotting... and good luck to all of us.
