This scam is no joke
It just happend to me. Marg, called me to tell me she was booking us on our holiday accomdation via the internet using Agoda. When I read my email a bit later I figured she had been scammed into paying $969.48 for something
with her PayPal.
In the Transaction Advise (which looks so authentic) I saw we had time to get it sorted out and was about to click and see how to.
But lucky I didnt. Tricksters are now so clever to get your personal details like passwords to bank accounts. So I hestiated and instead took a closer visual look before I just deleted it.
DON'T CLICK ON ANY LINKS .. JUST HOVER OVER THEM AND YOU WILL SEE WHAT I SAW AND WHERE THEY REALLY GO -
I am not even sure if the blog will pick up the underlying links, but take my word for it, thEY don't go to PalPay
Cheers
