The first is a scam PayPal email that contains an Update My Account button.
According to the experts at Trend Micro, this button will take you to a fake login page.
This can give scammers you’re real login details.
They can then use these to access your official account and steal your money and personal details.
If you receive an email about your PayPal account, be very cautious.
Don’t click any links before going to the actual PayPal website on a separate browser.
Login and check your account status on the official page.
If in doubt, contact PayPal directly via the official customer service details listed on its website.

Another scam involves emails about fake invoices.
They may seem very convincing because you might think you’re due some money.
In reality, scammers can infect your device and steal your data.
Trend Micro explains: “Scammers may send you random invoices to try to confuse you into clicking.”
The experts added: “Such invoices can be malicious and end up stealing your PII or infecting your device. Don’t click!”
It’s important to report scam messages to your email provider.
This can help save others from the same scam and help you avoid future versions.
