SCAM ALERT: PayPal users warned of ‘convincing’ email scam
People are being warned to be on the lookout for a “convincing” phishing scam targeting PayPal users.
In the email, users are advised that their PayPal account will expire in less than 24 hours unless they click on a link to confirm their account information.

If you click on the link, scammers can steal your account login credentials, your credit card numbers, and other personal information.
