Hello to you all!

I recently had a number of emails from ""Email Address at abdyl.com"""  and other strange email addresses alike saying somthing along the lines of " Thanks for your payment to "email address" for "random item" and it also ststed a scary amount of money.. somthing like £2000... or $7000...

The scary thing is that it looked so real, JUST LIKE A PAYPAL RECEIPT EMAIL!

Now heres the bit you have to watch out for!:::

 Just below where all the information on payment is, there is a big button that says "Click Here If You Did Not Make This Payment".. This may look like a genuine PayPal button but i can assure you it is not!

So to sum this up... THE WHOLE EMAIL IS A SCAM THAT WILL STEAL YOUR PAYPAL PASSWORD IF YOU FILL IT IN AFTER CLICKING THAT BUTTON!

Beware eBayers and PayPal users, i want to do my best to keep you all safe!

MORE GUIDES ON SAFETY COMING SOON!!

(please rate this helpful)   Kind regards  *Lozzy*
