Email Scam: You have changed your PayPal email address

Never believe on this one!!!!!!!!  This one is a real scammer! The email shows that it's from PayPal, but it's not!  Check the email address that sent the message.  The email is from test@test.com.

And it has an attached PayPal- Account Update Form.pdf.htm. I don't care and won't dare to open that html file! I am guessing, when I click on that attached file, a site would opened up and would ask for my PayPal email ID and password. And boom!!! My log-in account information would be sent to the scammer.  This scamming technique is called Phishing.

And I'm sure that the link is not from PayPal.  It would be from other domain name.

Here's how to check email address on PayPal account:

1. On an internet browser, type the link of PayPal.
2. Log-in to your account.
3. On the menu, click "My Account" if it's not yet selected.
4. Then hover your mouse over the sub-menu "Profile", then click on "Add/Edit Email".

These steps would show all the email address that has access to the PayPal account.  By default, it has only one email address.  You can add, edit and even delete email addresses here.
