Your Autistic Life FR/EN/ES<p>Notes on an attempt at phishing.</p><p>So this afternoon, I received an email that looked like it was coming from PayPal. The From: field had a PayPal address. The links in the email all started with the right URL.</p><p>However, the To: field was to some random address. A mass mailing, perhaps. PayPal contacts me to *my* address, not some random one.</p><p>The To: field was the first clue that something was off.</p><p>The email said that someone had updated their money request and that they were now asking for $1400 US.</p><p>There was also a note, supposedly from the **seller**:</p><p>"Don't recognize the seller? Please contact PayPal Support Team immediately at +1(888) 000-0000 (Toll Free). If you have any issues, you can also contact +1(888) 000-0000 (Toll Free). If you do not reach out, we will proceed with the transaction."</p><p>(The phone numbers above have been edited.)</p><p>Er... what? This could be a note from PayPal, but what seller is going to say "Don't recognize us? Call PayPal!"</p><p>I checked the phone numbers, and they are not associated with PayPal.</p><p>What's going on here? The email is relatively polished for a scam, and the links might be legit. (No, I did not test them.) Maybe they are hoping that the victim will check online, find nothing, and then call one of the numbers?</p><p>I did check online (but not by clicking the links in the email) and PayPal has no knowledge of this transaction. This is where it stops. I'm not calling any numbers.</p><p>Stay sharp, folks!</p><p><a href="https://mast.yourautisticlife.com/tags/scam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>scam</span></a> <a href="https://mast.yourautisticlife.com/tags/scammers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>scammers</span></a> <a href="https://mast.yourautisticlife.com/tags/PayPal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PayPal</span></a> <a href="https://mast.yourautisticlife.com/tags/phishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>phishing</span></a></p>
