I heard a lot of stories from people about getting scammed online. Felt sorry for them and vowed to myself not to be clicking suspicious-looking links or something. Like this email I got from PayPaI. I mean even with just a glance, one who is all too familiar with PayPal, would know their proper logo and stuff. I laughed while reading this one. Nice try but they gotta try harder. Have you ever gotten emails like this?

@sol_cee I'm sure that's why they keep doing these things - someone must be falling for these scams, unfortunately.

The Paypai made me

and then I got mad at them because they might have scammed those who don’t know PayPal from Paypai

I often receive emails like that... And even emails from banks like Metrobank and BPI saying they are going to deactivate my account... Good thing I don't have accounts in those banks..

@sol_cee like this. If it wasn't the title, I would be wondering what they're trying to scam me about.

This is really getting old / myLot

So, it's another 'Your account has been limited issue'. The thing is, I have no idea what it's trying to say. The email arrived just like that. If it's not...

I have gotten many emails from Paypal and other false sites with their scare tactics. One way to know if it is fake is to see if your name is on the email.

It seems that they use a capital I instead of the L for the last letter of PayPal, ridiculous. Our provider is very good at stopping spam messages.

Yes I do. I've gotten ones from Norton, McAfee, Microsoft Office, and one for a Wifi Booster. I've sent the McAfee and MO emails to their phishing emails in an attachment. I also reported it to the FTC online and via email. Then I block their name, send it to my spam filter to empty at the end of the week. I've gotten others like dating Asian woman. That email is definitely a phished email and spam.

@sol_cee I have plenty of time on my hands. I've recently gotten a Norton email (2nd one this week) and reported them and deleted the email afterwards. Now spam phone calls are even the worse.
