Phishing emails


Warning alert.

I received 2 phishing emails in less than an hour spoofing paypal.

If you get one dont open any links or respond just delete the email and then go to the email bin and empty the bin

I'm pretty certain that Amazon don't support PayPal, so this should be a red flag to begin with.

But you are not certain so you might just open it. They get one every now and again. Check the address that it is attached too.

Depending on which mail app you use, generally you can hover your mouse pointer over the senders name and it will show the full email address.

Telstra scam the same, they mention user, no name. They also use Telstra's correct number but they hope you use their email system. I have contacted Telstra previously and definate scam, be careful.
