Tips and Fraud Prevention
At PayPal, maintaining your
account's security is PayPal's top
priority. To augment the security
measures that we take on your behalf,
there are steps that you can take to
help protect your account from fraud
and scams.
Website
Security
- Type in
the PayPal URL: To safely
and securely access the PayPal
website or your PayPal account,
open a new web browser (e.g.,
Internet Explorer or Netscape) and
type in the following: https://www.paypal.com/
Password
Safety
- Never
share your PayPal password:
PayPal representatives will never
ask you for your password. If you
believe someone has learned your
password, please change it
immediately and contact
PayPal.
- Create a
secure password: Choose a
password that uses a combination
of letters, numbers, and symbols.
For example, $coo!place2l!ve or
2Barry5Bonds#1. Avoid choosing
obvious words or dates such as a
nickname or your birth date.
- Keep your
PayPal password unique:
Don't use the same password for
PayPal and other online services
such as AOL, eBay, MSN or Yahoo.
Using the same password for
multiple websites increases the
likelihood that someone could
learn your password and gain
access to your account.
Email
Security
- Look for
a PayPal Greeting: PayPal
will never send an email with the
greeting "Dear PayPal
User" or "Dear PayPal
Member." Real
PayPal emails will address you by
your first and last name or
the business name associated with
your PayPal account. If you
believe you have received a
fraudulent email, please forward
the entire email—including the
header information—to spoof@paypal.com.
We investigate every spoof
reported. Please note that the
automatic response you get from us
may not address you by name.
- Don't
share personal information via
email: We will never ask
you to enter your password or
financial information in an email
or send such information in an
email. You should only share
information about your account
once you have logged in to
https://www.paypal.com/.
- Don't
download attachments:
PayPal will never send you an
attachment or software update to
install on your computer.
Use
Your Account Wisely
- Don't
share your account: Don't
use your PayPal account to collect
or transfer money for someone
else. These types of activity are
often conducted as forms of money
laundering or mail fraud and may
result in significant criminal
penalties. If someone contacts you
and asks you to transfer money on
their behalf, you should refuse
the request and contact
PayPal immediately.
- Increase
your security: Become a
Verified PayPal member.
- Look for
legitimate sites: Examine
all privacy and security seals
before doing business with a
particular website and make sure
they are legitimate.

Protect
Yourself from Fraudulent Emails
At
PayPal, protecting your account's
security is our top priority. Recently,
PayPal members have reported
suspicious-looking emails and fake
websites. These
emails are not from PayPal and
responding to them may put your account
at risk. Please protect your PayPal
account by paying close attention to the
emails you receive and the websites you
visit.
Please use the following tips to stay
safe with PayPal:
- Safe Log
In:
To log in to your PayPal account or
access the PayPal website, open a
new web browser (e.g., Internet
Explorer or Netscape) and type in
the following: https://www.paypal.co.uk
- Greeting:
Emails from PayPal will address you
by your first and last name or the
business name associated with your
PayPal account. Fraudulent emails
often include the salutation
"Dear PayPal User" or
"Dear PayPal Member".
- Email
Attachments: PayPal emails
will never ask you to download an
attachment or a software program.
Attachments contained in fraudulent
emails often contain viruses that
may harm your computer or compromise
your PayPal account.
- Request
for Personal Information: If
we require information from you, we
will notify you in an email and
request that you enter the
information only after you have
safely and securely logged in to
your PayPal account.
Often, fraudulent emails will
request details such as your full
name, account password, credit card
number, bank account, PIN number,
Social Security Number, or mother's
maiden name.
If you
think that you have received a
fraudulent email (or fake website),
please forward the email (or URL
address) to spoof@paypal.com
and then delete the email from your
mailbox. Never click any links or
attachments in a suspicious email.

PayPal account, please review our Security
