 Hello everyone. Okay, so I thought I'd make a quick video just to demonstrate something if you like me near get all sorts of spam Come through your email. It can be frustrating. I'm looking at one now. It tells me that my PayPal account has been limited Now I know this isn't correct. This is not the correct status of my PayPal account But you know you can ask yourself now. I don't let the rest of the information through Like Thunderbird has blocked remote contact to this message. I use Thunderbird. It's a great email client. You can put lots of different email addresses systems in there and And it's just a it's just a great way of keeping your your emails in some sort of order Especially if you've got different email accounts for different things now get them back to this So it says my PayPal account has been limited And one it doesn't put my name here normally from these sort of places that at least put your name Part maybe Your email address or some sort of some sort of identification that you can see As I look down here, there's nothing and I'm letting the remote access now Just to show you the difference Okay, so it looks you know like it's from PayPal, okay But anybody can just knit these graphics and put them into an email The way you're going to find out is you can go and look at the links and then look down at the bottom bar Especially if you're using an email client like this check this bottom bar out Now I'm looking at so I'll go over the link there and you can see it says W dot PayPal dot com So we know that link goes to PayPal and to an address in that domain But if we go log into PayPal now look at the link down there now That's a completely different email. That's a completely different domain name. That is not PayPal And so you're going to be going through To something that's going to look like PayPal probably and you think you've gone through the PayPal Here's another one This is a reminder From this previous You know this email here I've not answered it of course and there's another way you look at look at the top as well This is from customer doc in a shop PayPal I mean anybody can put this in when you set it up an email and you can actually put where it's come from So there's all this jibber jabber in here And then when you look at where it's gone to to all these different email addresses All of them and the only thing that's correct about my email address in this and there's 80 more of them here He's at mine ends in hotmail.com You know I've had this missing my address for decades and it ends in hotmail.com So now we're just going to take a peek at the other one. So this one says up here that it's Live at Microsoft.com. That's where it's going to Where it comes from they didn't bother They just put in the name PayPal and put this I don't know you say yet bang cat and Well, look, it's not from PayPal and that's all we really need to know again There's nothing that's personal towards me. It doesn't put my name. It doesn't put part my like the last four of my Card number it doesn't give anything identified or it tries to make you believe it's pay for and again if we go over to Confirm the account and look down the bottom here again when I go over that You'll see that is not going to a PayPal address and you can do this on practically any email that you get that you think is Suspicious or it doesn't really matter I mean just go over the link hover over the link and see what the address is down the bottom of the Of the page and it will generally tell you what the address is that it will be going to That's a very quick way of you getting past. Is this real? Isn't this not real? You know if for some reason you're not taking into account. There's no personal identification there There's nothing that actually says it's specifically for you And then you know these these guys do this sort of thing all the time So but it's a quick way of just figuring it out. Okay. I'll catch you in the next one guys Stay well
