Protecting Your Account

Many users have recently reported receiving emails that appear to be from PayPal, eBay, or other popular websites that ask the user to enter their password or other private information either directly in the email or by clicking a link. These "spoof" emails are designed to capture private information from unsuspecting users, and are not sent by PayPal.

Stay safe; don't respond to emails asking for any of the following:
  • Your password and email address combination
  • Credit card numbers
  • Bank account numbers
  • Social security numbers
  • First and Last Names
Other online safety tips:

Always log in to the PayPal site
PayPal will only ask for information AFTER you have securely logged in.

Keep your password safe
Use a unique password for your PayPal account, and don't use it on any other site or for any other service.

Read your email carefully
PayPal will always address you by your first and last name or business name when we send you an email

Report Suspicious emails
Help us keep the community safe for everyone. If you receive a suspicious email, please report it to us at spoof@paypal.com.
Forget your password? We can help!

If you forget your password, don't worry. Just click on the "Forget your password?" link on the PayPal homepage, and you'll be able to reset your password after you confirm ownership of your account by answering a few questions that only the true account owner would know.
