Fake PayPal website stealing passwords and payment info

A website pretending to be PayPal has been confirmed as a scam designed to steal your login and financial details. If anyone in your family clicks a link to this site, their PayPal account and payment information could be compromised.

What to do: Never click PayPal links in emails or texts — always go directly to paypal.com in your browser, and if anyone in your family may have visited a suspicious PayPal page recently, change your PayPal password immediately and check for unauthorised transactions.
