This can mean many things: successful phishing attempt , fraudulent orders against sellers, unfulfilled orders for customers.

The danger of phishing
Phishing is a real danger to anyone who uses the internet. Everyone’s email has been the target of a phishing attempt at least once and often these attempts target people’s PayPal accounts.

To avoid being scammed, you need to open your eyes and understand how to identify fraudulent e-mails. First you need to carefully check the sender’s address, immediately wary of any unusual address, the official PayPal addresses necessarily end, in Italy, with the paypal.it domain.

We must remain calm and not be rushed , almost all fake emails in fact warn the victim of all that his account is in danger, could be blocked or even closed, in case a specific update is not performed. Fraudulent emails contain links that refer to malicious sites.

Therefore, if you have received an email warning you that a critical update must be performed or your account will be closed, if a suspicious email informs you that you have received money, it is always better to close your mailbox and connect from the bar navigation on the paypal.it site, logging in independently. Once on the official PayPal site you can check for yourself.

Other tricks to quickly discover phishing attempts, applicable in general to any similar scam attempt are: pay close attention to typing or grammatical errors , be wary of impersonal greetings (such as “Dear user”).

Finally, you need to pay close attention to attachments: PayPal emails never have attachments, if you have received an email that contains an attachment it is certainly a scam and by opening it you could expose your account to serious dangers.
