He then applied for a credit card, added a second credit card to our account, then tried to withdraw money from our checking account. PayPal actually caught him and stopped all the transactions within a few hours before we suffered any losses. When PayPal initially called us, we didn't believe it was really them, so we called back to the security number provided on the PayPal site. Just like this phishing scam, we didn't trust the initial contact and instead took control of the communications. As you recommend, you just can't be too careful when it comes to PayPal!

I find it best NOT to navigate through links in emails to financial institutions. Several major banks no longer place links in their emails for the very reason of scams. Instead some will send two emails. One to you email address advising to go to their site, and a second email delivered to your internal mail account. Aside from all of that education and awareness are in my opinion the best tactic. -- Thanks Andrew -- Gustafson http://www.theviewfromhome.com/worldnomadspromocode As a habit I will only go to a financial site if I type the domain in directly or if I have previously bookmarked it.

Fail to do that will cause you all your money. Ya… one should always check the domain name and link address before proceeding. Fail to do that will cause you all your money.
