FRAUDLENT EMAILS: Paypal, Yahoo, Ebay, IPIU, Others:
Warning, you may be receiving forged emails asking you to log into your accounts at Ebay, Paypal, Yahoo, IPIU, and others.
These emails LOOK OFFICIAL, but they are not.
When you read these emails and it gives you a link in the email to log in, just place your mouse over the link and read the real link in your STATUS BAR at the bottom of your page. (Or, right-click and choose properties to see the real link).
Example of a fake Ebay email:
They ask you to sign in at a secured site at:
https://signin.ebay.com/
However, the Properties of the above link in the email show the following site:
http://24.1.233.198:81/signin.ebay.com/
The above web site is really http://24.1.233.198:81 located in Texas and NOT the real ebay site in California.
If you had logged into the fake site at 24.1.233.198:81, then they would have your Ebay Name and Passcode to commit fraud!
WARNING #2!
Do NOT tag any incoming emails from ipiu.org or privateinvestigators.cc as "spam". Even though our emails containing attachments may be fake at times, you will be blocking our real emails if you tag them as spam. You are better off deleting the fakes and keeping the real emails.
IPIU emails do NOT contain any Attachments. We do NOT ask you to open an Attachement in the email or to "colick" on an Attachment. At most, we will email some members web links to our forum site, but again - we do NOT email any Attachments.
If IPIU emails you a web link, place the mouse oover the link WITHOUT CLICKING ON IT and see if it is located somewhere at our root web sites, such as www.ipiu.org , www.ipiu.org/forums, or our ecommerce site at www.privateinvestigators.cc
-In other form emails, such as PayPal, by placing your mouse over the email web link that these emails ask you to click on, you will see their phony web addresses, which sometimes have an official name attached to a numeric phony web site. DO NOT CLICK on the email link.
If you want to verify if your account has been cancelled or suspended, then LOG IN AT THE REGULAR ACCOUNT SITE ONLY. (Or, if it is related to IPIU - then privately email usa@ipiu.org to verify)
