PayPal scam warning issued to Gedling borough users over new 1p scam

Paypal users in Gedling borough have been warned of a new 1p scam targeting PayPal accounts.

PayPal has warned everyone with an account to “stay vigilant” for the scam, telling users to be aware of scammers trying to create a sense of urgency to steal information.

The scam sees criminals use a non-existent or hacked business account on PayPal to send 1p to your account.

PayPal users will then receive an email suggesting that a larger sum of money is due to be deposited into their account, and that the 1p was sent just to check your account is active.
