02Veelvoorkomende Paypal-oplichting

01

PayPal Account Limitation Notice

Fake emails stating your PayPal account has been limited or suspended, urging immediate "verification" through a phishing link.

02

Fake Payment Received Notification

Scammers send fraudulent "You've received a payment" emails to sellers, tricking them into shipping goods before realizing no real payment was made.

03

PayPal Invoice Scam

Legitimate-looking PayPal invoices sent through the platform for services or products you never ordered, with instructions to call a scam phone number.

04

Overpayment Refund Scam

A "buyer" sends a payment (often with a stolen card), then contacts you claiming they overpaid and asks you to refund the difference.

05

PayPal Friends & Family Manipulation

Sellers insist on receiving payment via Friends & Family to avoid PayPal buyer protection, then never deliver the product.

03Hoe Herken Je een Nep Paypal-bericht

01PayPal emails come from @paypal.com. They always address you by your full name, never "Dear User."
02Log in to paypal.com directly to check for any account notifications rather than clicking email links.
03PayPal will never ask for your full credit card number, bank account number, or password via email.
04Use the PayPal app or website to verify any payment claims before shipping goods.
05Never use Friends & Family payments for purchases from strangers.
06Forward suspicious emails to [email protected].

04Report Paypal scams.

If you have received a suspicious message impersonating Paypal, report it directly to Paypal so they can take action and protect others.
