Using Pay-Pal

[CavalierReef]

I'm sure many of you on here use Paypal when conducting business with each other or a vendor. I just attempted to communicate with PayPal and received this message:

Has anyone else experienced this?

This is not paypal.

epl.paypal-communication.com

The domain is paypal-communication.com

This is a phishing email.

Agreed with above. I’ve used PayPal for all my transactions (selling and buying coral from hobbyists) and have never come across any issues

I got this email when I clicked the unsubscribe button on an email from PayPal. If you haven't had any issues with them, I'm happy for you. As for me, never again.

If you clicked that fraudulent link, and gave them your real PayPal login and password, go and log into PayPal.com right away and change your password right away. They are using that fake email to steal people’s PayPal accounts

It is very unlikely it was an email from paypal dont blame them

If the email showed up as "Pay-Pal" that should be your first red flag

Elon Musk is not behind this PayPal email

Agreed that it's a scam/fake email not from PayPal.

PayPal has over 300 million active users that they make money off of. I don’t think they need to scam and put malware on people’s machines to make a few extra bucks.

As stated, sounds like you clicked a link on what’s called a phishing email. This is an email that purports to be from somewhere official, but is, in fact, a look-alike that is full of links that will steal your information. As mentioned, if you did input your login information, please change your password immediately by going to PayPal directly.
