[email protected] SPAM
There’s another paypal scammer to report on this time the phishing scammer is using the [email protected] SPAM email address. The email phishing scam reads like this:
You added a new email address to your PayPal account
Dear, YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS HEREThis is just a quick confirmation that you added a new email address ([email protected]) to your PayPal account.
If you want to make this your primary email address – where we’ll send all your account-related information – log in to your PayPal account and go to your Profile.
If you didn’t add this email, Please login to your account and ensure no one login to your account. It’s important because it helps us make sure no one is getting into your account without your knowledge.
Is that you?
Yes No, Secure My Account
Your action is required to help us to protect you PayPal account securely.Thank you. PayPal.com
To be honest I’m not even sure if the email address means anything in this instance, but their links are fraudulent. The domain of this fraud is “open-case-id-9983-8324-9381-0094.com”
Now the scammy link looks like this to trick people “hxxps://paypal.open-case-id-9983-8324-9381-0094.com/signin/” I removed the “tt” and replaced it with “xx” to so it doesn’t turn into a link.
The Whois information for this scammer appears to be this, although with a lot of these scammers they’ll use fake information.

Watch out for scams, personally I don’t click paypal links unless I expected to get a message, what’s crazy about the above scammer is that if you’re adding an email address to your paypal and that spam email comes in at the same time wow! Be careful people, I will have to be extra careful now too!!
