I got this email purportedly from Paypal asking me to confirm a payment that has been made to my web host. Like I am going to fall for that. But then I realized that a lot of people actually fall for it!! So, I am going to write this to prevent stuff like this from happening to unsuspecting people who have just started to learn how to use Paypal.
Above is the email.
First of all, look at the 'from' field. Paypal will send you with an email like @paypal.com or @intl.paypal.com and not @paypal-us.intl.com. No such thing. If you go to Paypal's page, they will tell you the same thing.
And then look at the 'to' field. WHO THE HELL IS 67843? Paypal's got all my personal information which includes my email, so....who is 67843? Lottery number? Brudder, there's an extra number there.
In the picture above, it says 'Click here to cancel this transaction'. This is common for scams because they want you alarmed enough to urgently click on the thing and log in. When you log in, the page will look somewhat like a real Paypal page but then you're not really logging into your account. Once you've keyed in your ID and password....that's it. They've got your password.
If you're still not sure, mouseover the link and you'll see that it does NOT lead to a paypal site. Look at the bottom left of the browser. Yo, in the picture, yeah? Not on the computer screen that is in front of you, yeah? LOL. Kidding. See? It leads to this website: www.pilthop31.com. Who the hell is that? Why are they writing on behalf of Paypal?
I am sure even for untrained eyes, ears, heart, mouth, body, brain might suspect that it's a scam when the website is not the real Paypal.
And no, Paypal does NOT need to hire 'contractors'.
So, be warned. Don't fall for it.
I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme
