Pay pal phishing is generally carried out by using pay pal email scams. The innocent pay pal user receives an email which looks very much like a genuine email from pay pal. The email explains of some information that needs to be updated by the pay pal user. The user is urged to click a link on the email and update the information in the user's pay pal account. Once clicked, the link leads to a page that closely resembles the pay pal account login page. The page requests details of email address and password to enable access to the pay pal account. Armed with this vital information, the fraudster can now access the victims paypal account and do what he pleases. Every pay pal email scam uses the same technic but the contents of the email may vary as every fraudster tries to make his email appear more convincing and genuine.

(01) Choosing A Password: Ensure that the password that you use for your pay pal account is not easy to guess. Another mistake users often make is to use the same username and passwords for emails and other services like pay pal. You might open an email account for casual correspondence and thus not be very careful about protecting it's password. You could therefore be compromising on security if you used the same password for your pay pal account. It is not a good idea to repeat passwords no matter how easy that might make it for you to remember passwords.
(02) Check The Account: Login to your pay pal account and check the transactions at least once a week. This is all the more important if your pay pal account is connected to your bank account. If you notice any suspicious transactions contact Pay pal immediately and also change the password for your pay pal account. If you have a large balance in your pay pal account, it might be a good idea to transfer the balance to your bank account.
(03) Using A Public Computer: It is not safe to login to your paypal account when using a public or other shared computer. Malware programs (programs written with bad intentions) can record your login details and make them accessible to fraudsters. There is really no way that you can check and ensure if the shared computer you use is safe for doing confidential financial transactions. Office computers might be safer depending on the type of computer infrastructure that is available. Most offices install various security devices that are capable of keeping out such malware programs.
(04) Never Click An Email Link: If you have read the details above you would be aware of the pay pal email frauds and other pay pal scams that have sprung up in recent times. Pay pal email scams are used by fradusters to get the confidential login information of innocent pay pal users. Pay pal funds are then accessed by these fraudsters for their own use. The emails have an authentic look with pay pal logo etc and urge the victims to click a link to update their pay pal records, or to check specific transactions. If you ever receive one of these suspicious emails but are not sure if it is really a pay pal email scam, open your web browser and type the complete pay pal website name to access the web site. Use the login option on the website to login to your account.
(05) Change Passwords: It is a good idea to change your pay pal account password every two to three weeks. Do not write your password in any place that can be easily accessed or seen by others. If you really need to note the password, do not provide complete details of it being a pay pal account password etc in the note. Besides these regular changes, make it a point to change the password the moment you suspect that your pay pal account has been accessed by an unauthorised person. Do not use a password that is very easy to remember or guess, like your first or last name, your city or country etc.
(06) Separate Bank Account: If you have registered for a pay pal account from a country that pay pal accepts a direct link to your bank account, consider maintaining a separate bank account for this purpose. This might not be necessary if your pay pal transactions are very few and can be easily remembered, but for regular use a separate bank account for your pay pal transactions is worth maintaining. A separate bank account would contain transactions related only to your pay pal account and any suspicious entry would be easily noticed. It could also limit the financial loss if your pay pal account was by any chance accessed by fraudsters.
(07) Linking An Email Address: At the time of registering a pay pal account, the email address that you provide is one of the components used to subsequently login to your pay pal account. This email address along with your password provides a security check to ensure a valid login to your account. Choose an email address that you check regulalry and also one for which the password is known only to you. It is also a good idea not to use the same password for your pay pal account and the email account. Remember, never to click any link on emails received to access or login to your pay pal account. Pay pal email scams come up with very convincing but fraudulent content and urge you to update or correct problems in your account by clicking a link.
(08) Logout When Finished: This is a good habit when accessing any online website that required you to login. Online payment and financial websites like pay pal and bank accounts are very confidential so treat them that way. It is not a good idea to remain logged in and merely minimize the web page. You might ultimately forget to logout and leave your account wide open for people with bad intentions. If you are not in the habit of logging out of your account, remember that this could have added dangers when accessing your pay pal account from a shared computer like in an office.
