30 Cases of Phishing Attempts

Did you read bout the case where more than thirty eBay UK members were duped into disclosing their personal eBay particulars, and possibly sensitive financial information, to phishers?

I wonder why some people do not read.

The other day, a friend told me that he received a phishing email and he reported it to Gmail. Gmail has this feature but I do not know how effective it is. Anyway, just as a friendly reminder, I told him that whenever he receives such an email, whether it is a legitimate message or an phishing mail, just delete it and log into the official website directly from the browser and not by clicking on links found in the email.

If a message is really from PayPal, a message will pop up when we log into the account. If it is a real message from eBay, then this message will be in our Message Center.
