Morning,
Just had a text from "Paypal" telling me one of my accounts is on hold due to unusual activities...Being put on hold is not unusual due to the fickle nature of Ebay and Paypay and being told by text also not unusual but scam antennas were twitching Then followed link supplied on text and it look me to "paypal.user-action.net" It looked like a normal paypay sign in page but I am 100 sure its as dodgy as the dodgiest dodge in Dodgeville

Just a warning to check the webpage address you are on !

I would always log in at the proper website and if there are any issues, it will tell me there. Same for banks and credit cards.

100% this too.

Although as above, the email address/URL usually gives it away.

Just had the same with godaddy wanting verification by law or all accounts on hold, 1st email looked real (no spelling mistakes and correct logo etc) but when you look at where it will send you its a scam but a very good one, careful out there!
