The following Phishing attack in the name of PayPal was received on 21 st September. The sender is trying to get people to reply and then will be taken to a website where you will be invited to disclose your personal details – simply delete without clicking through or replying.

The clues that this is a scam are as follows:

• Email address is suspicious
• Subject title is unlikely by using the word “Seriously”
• “PayPal is spelt “PayPaI”
• “Into” is spelt “in to”
• “Users” is spelt “User”

The email reads as follows:

“Noreply Service cominr-comin (at) wadas.onmicrosoft.com
