Phishing email claims to be from paypal

[brisen (Brian)]

The scammers are out in force at the moment - I just received an email with the subject "Your Account has been temporarily Limited #XXXXXXX" with a PDF attached. It is clearly NOT from Paypal and the attached PDF is a virus or executable that will try and harvest personal details and passwords.

Another one for the block and delete folder.

Yep I get the same from westpac.
Just check the senders email before opening.
Last I checked Ahmed Abdelldewaje wasn’t my bank guy

Having changed email address in the last few weeks I find myself enjoying the reprieve from the usual rubbish-mail, but in the words of one of the Little Britain characters: "give it a minute".

Why not try Mailwasher?
There's 2 versions.
A freebie & the Pro, which I've been using for many years.
No rubbish spam gets onto your M/C.
Free > https://www.mailwasher.net/
Pro > https://www.firetrust.com/products/mailwasher-pro

(NB: I have no affiliation with either MWP or Firetrust. I just use the Pro version.)
ps. They do have a "Lifetime" option if needed.

I get them as well, telling me that my account needs updating, the only thing is, I don't have a Pay Pal Account. Strange that. !!
