En el correo nos sugiere que verifiquemos nuestra cuenta de usuario de PayPal, presionando sobre el link que viene en el correo electrónico, este link nos envía a una web falsa que emula ser la empresa PayPal. El método usado no es nuevo, pero los cibercacos en esta web falsa usan una nueva variante, emular otra ventana de dirección del navegador donde contiene la url verdadera de la empresa PayPal, de esta manera los cibercacos hace creer a la posible victima que estan en la web original.

Las web falsas son las siguientes;
