I had a text last night telling me I could be entitled to Â£1250 income tax return asking me to contact the sender. Obviously that was one for the bin

How do I know if an email is from PayPal?

Phishing emails are fake emails that attempt to collect your personal and financial information. These fake emails often link to illegitimate (spoof) websites that encourage you to enter personal information credit card numbers, passport or driver's licence number, and account passwords).

You'll know that an email is not from PayPal when:

The email uses a generic greeting like 'Dear user' or 'Hello, PayPal member.' (We always address you by the name on your PayPal account.)

The email requests personal/financial details, such as your bank account or card numbers, your full name, your account password or the answers to your PayPal security questions.

The email includes an attachment, a software update to install on your computer.
