Hi to all. I wonder if this is phising email : webform@alert.paypal.co.il is

phishing mail.

THEY TOLD ME THIS:

Is the number of the telphon is belong to paypal?

I did not change my password and I get in to my paypal account with the same

Password.... So they lie when they write in the email that I change my password, and maybe they want from me details.

What is the telphone number of paypal?

Thank you.

100% phishing email.

1st - there are mispellings.
2nd - thats not a paypal email address
3rd - the link they provide does not go to paypal, even worse, it goes to an IP adress
4th - Paypal will NEVER ask for your password

The phone number is not paypal

 

webform@alert.paypal.[B][SIZE=3]co.il [/SIZE][/B]

The part in BOLD is a clue it is likely not legitimate. PayPal's domain is normally .com.

That does not sound like a genuine request from PayPal. Enter your card information as accurately as possible??? Good grief! Either the card number is correct or it is incorrect. What good is a card number if it is not absolutely correct. (Like a telephone number, one digit off and you have a wrong number.)

I would recommend that you disregard the e-mail and delete it.

 

It will ALWAYS start with the SECURE form of web-addresses:

https://www.paypal.com (or similar)

Also, Paypal and eBay (and others) include the actual account username in the email ... this said "Dear Memmber (sic)"; generics the real companies do not do.

PayPal is great and I have never had problems ... and they NEVER send this kind of email without identifying the user and the real secure address.

 

That was a phishing mail, pretty obvious.

Just one thing, about the co.il part. First of all, the domain paypal.co.il indeed belongs to PayPal, you can check the SSL info on hxxps://www.paypal.co.il/il/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_home and read the VeriSign Class3 Public Primary Certification Authority data your browser shows.

Second, all Israeli users of PayPal get emails from service@paypal.co.il, which is legitimate.

If you see unfamiliar piece of information, at least check it to make sure you`re not misleading others. PayPal got plenty of domains, some of them are not .com.

 

What a small world! I got this email too and when I googled it (after finding out it was fake) I came to this form! I am a member here! Small world! Seeming that there are SOO many forms! And they used a different email than the one I signed up for this site with so that's not it. Anyways, that is the real PayPal number, I called them and they said it was a fake email, I googled that number and it is the PayPal number.
The makers of this email foolishly mis-spelled "member" in the very first sentence! HAHA.
But yes, it's 100% fake. Paypal said they never put hyperlinks in their emails, never address you as "member", and it would be from ***@paypal.com

Good day!

 

But don't rely on the listed source as proof of genuinenss, since phishers often forge the source information!

 

Agreed about that e-mail being "phishy". And yes, PayPal would use the customer's name in an e-mail. But they do send messages with hyperlinks on various occasions. And as mentioned before, they use various TLDs, not ".com" only, depending on the member's location. In fact, if I got an email "from" paypal.com, I would immediately assume that there is something wrong with it. Peter's advice makes a lot of sense, especially (but not only) when you deal with PayPal or your bank ...
