Keylogging attempt

Screenshoted a keylogging attempt. Is this the new way people are trying to get your PayPal info? 

 

Also why is there no report button for these types of messages?

Not familiar with messages in the app, but what happens when you click the flag icon top right? That could be the report button.

 

And yes, that's how lovely people steal your login info. unamused

Totally ignore such messages.

 

NEVER click on any link provided.

And it's not keylogging. fwiw

 

Keylogging is when a malicious program

hides .. and records your keystrokes when you sign into a Normal Safe website.

 

You've been presented with a (lame, very lame) Spoof website

that hopes you'll enter your ID and Password .. to them...

Never click on a link you receive in an email that you didn't request.  I would forward the email to spoof@paypal.com.

Can't see your screen shot anymore, but if you are talking about the eBay message system, they removed the report button.  When asked about it, the only thing that was provided by staff was that "it was an intended change." 

 

At least they didn't call it an "enhancement".   We need it back.
