The Cyber and Fraud Centre Scotland would like to alert the public to a recent phishing scam exploiting PayPal’s “New Address” feature.
Our partner, NatWest Bank, has brought this issue to our attention, emphasising the importance of vigilance and caution when dealing with unexpected emails.
This is a strong example of how these scams can appear genuine. It is important to take the right steps if a user receives these e-mails to ensure they don’t fall victim.
Bleeping Computer has highlighted this scam in detail, explaining that the emails are sent from legitimate PayPal addresses, bypassing security filters. If you receive such an email, do not engage with the scammers. Stay informed and protect your personal information by following these guidelines.
