Example result
The message
“Your PayPal account has been limited. Verify immediately: paypa1-secure-update.com”

This looks like a phishing attempt pretending to be PayPal. The link goes to a fake address and the message pushes you to act fast.

Red flags

  • Urgent, threatening wording
  • Look-alike web address (paypa1)
  • Payment alert you did not expect

What to do

  • Do not click the link
  • Open the PayPal app or type paypal.com yourself
  • Report it at reportfraud.ftc.gov
