PayPal Scam

WARNING: PAYPAL TEXT SCAM

Tipperary Times and a number of readers have received spam text messages claiming to be from payment giants, PayPal. We are warning all our readers to delete this text message immediately.

The text message from a shortcode number *36105* states:

36105:Dear customer,
Your account has been limited. To restore access please complete the following security check: LINK

The link redirects customers to a fake login screen where users are prompted to enter their details, seen below.

Speaking to PayPal this afternoon, a representative stated PayPal never send messages asking customers to login. Should you receive this text and entered your details, please contact PayPal immediately and change all your online passwords.
