Another scam warning

We have published a Chatbox from Penelopepitstop which warns:

"Warning! My husband just got a fraudulent PayPal email. It states his account has been suspended, and asks him to click on the link which he did! Luckily he has an Apple and this blocked the link.

"He rang PayPal and they told him it was a scam. They said there's a real problem with this at the moment. If he had been on an Android, the link would have put a false page up asking him for his account details.

"A couple of handy thing they did tell him is that PayPal always address you by the name on your account: Never as Dear member.

"Also, they never ask you to click a link on an email: they only ever ask you to communicate with them once you have logged in to your account from your browser!"
