Some users have received a strange invoice in their PayPal account, the cost of which is 0 dollars It is true that many times some services send us a certain amount of money (small) of a few cents or cents so that we can verify our account, for security reasons, but this time it is not the case. We are facing a new method of spam, which we must avoid and in this article we will tell you what it is about and how to protect ourselves against it.
0 dollars in PayPal, new spam maneuver
Popular services always receive spam everywhere, it's normal, because the baddest ones look for users to fall down no matter what, and PayPal is a widely used payment service.
But how is this supposed email that we have received 0 dollars in PayPal? We see it in the following photo:
The email, from what we see in the previous image, communicates that we have received an income of 0 dollars. You can see all the data of the sender and recipient, and so on top of that, it is a bit surprising that an email has been sent with the name " [email protected] ". Normally, they would send it at least with PayPal's own domains.
What happens if we click on the previous email? It takes us to skrylcomputers.com Come on, it's a spam ploy to get users to click on it and take them to that page. The more users bite, the more visits you will have and the more income you will generate with them.
Let's call it a harmless maneuver, but it's still spam. If you receive something similar, you know where the shots are going. Nothing happened to your PayPal account, this guy just wants you to give him a page visit
This has all been possible thanks to Troy Hunt, who has told us the whole story on Twitter, and also, he was not the unique, because it received tweets with screenshots from users who had experienced the same thing. Many were outraged, of course, because they were concerned with what they had received, and because a third party had his personal data.
Incredible what happened with PayPal, have you received this email in your inbox? If so, take the opportunity to tell us in the comments.
