Here’s another one – and I do report these to spoof@paypal.com so they can try to shut these phishing sites down. You can forward those emails to PayPal, too. This one looks pretty except the PayPal logo isn’t right. PayPal wouldn’t mess up their logo like that – they would use their real logo. I’m…
This one’s pretty obvious but let’s take a look: Subject: der Alert MC00534427 : limit applied to your account verify now OK, that’s terrible English, capitalization and the space before the colon is a dead giveaway that this is from India. It was sent right around the time they’re starting their day there, too. Here’s…
I got another good one… a fake Dropbox email this time. And these guys are stepping up their game a little bit, too. From: Dropbox Subject: New files received.

They can’t even spell customer right. 🙂 Other tip-offs: “IONOSInc.” without a space between those words… sloppy. Companies…
I received 4-5 of these messages recently and they’re a phishing scam. “We are unable to validate important details about your Amazon WebServices (AWS). Please Confirm Your Information To Remove Account Limit Restriction.” Here’s what I see that tips me off that this is a phishing email: The bad English. About my AWS? Or… About…
Here’s another phishing scam I received today… Subject line: “Unusual Activity Detected” Wow, they love me. This one seems a bit more well crafted than the last one but let’s take a look… In this line: “For your safety, Your American Express account has temporarily been suspended due to missing/unverified contact information.” the word “your”…
I just received this email and noticed it’s a phishing email, so I thought I’d explain a few ways to easily check for scam emails.
