Tons of Junk Email? Check with PayPal!

If you suddenly find your email inbox filled with hundreds or thousands of spam emails, and you use a PayPal account, this tip is for you!

Although it's a relatively rare occurrence, PayPal hackers use your personal information to send you tons of spam emails. This distracts you while they funnel money away from your PayPal account and into their own personal accounts. By the time you're able to filter through all the spam and find the warning emails from PayPal about money transfers or security breaches, the money is long gone.

So, if you see tons of spam suddenly popping up in your inbox, contact PayPal's security department right away.
