Paypal & Apple ID Fraud and Pishing

[Rich One]

I have experienced suspicious emails from Apple ID and Paypal Customer Service requesting to click on attachments and other places to confirm fake purchases from Malaysia and Indonesia and other operations... Be warned NEVER click on these phishing fraudulent mails that can steal all your data.. See links below on what to do..

Paypal Fraudulent attacks

As you read this, an illicit campaign is underway to deceive PayPal users into believing recent transactions they’ve made “could not be verified.” In emails bearing PayPal’s logo, consumers are warned that PayPal has detected suspicious activity on their accounts and that the company requires updated information to avoid fraudulent charges.

Apple users: Beware of this scary new scam that gives criminals access to all your info

There are several attacks making the rounds that are specifically targeting people with iPhones, iPads and Mac computers.

The scam works a couple of different ways:

• Someone calls you pretending to be from Apple claiming that there has been a breach in the system — and they need your personal information to verify your account.
• Scammers send you an email or text that appears to be from Apple — saying that you’ve been the victim of a breach and you need reset your Apple ID account by clicking on the link provided in the message.

If you click on the link, it immediately gives the scammers access to your Apple account, including any stored personal information and payment information.
