New scam targets PayPal users

Users of PayPal are being targeted in a new email scam.

The email claims that “Your account has been limited” and is trying to dupe victims into giving up their log in info. The claims come from servicesATapple.com, and claims that the account needs to be unlocked by confirming the potential victim’s identity.

The Email reads as follows:

Your Account PayPal Has Been Limited !

Dear Customer,

To get back into your PayPal account, you'll need to confirm your identity.

It's easy:

Click on the link below or copy and past the link into your browser.
Confirm that you're the owner of the account, and then follow the instructions.

If you check the email, you will find that it originates from Morocco:

confirm-identity(dot)me(dot)ma

Other originating sites include:

confirmation-identity(dot)ab(dot)ma/
confirm-identity(dot)about(dot)ma/
verification-identity(dot)me(dot)ma/
resolution-center(dot)me(dot)ma/
confirm-identity(dot)about(dot)ma/
confirm-identity(dot)ab(dot)ma/
verification-identity(dot)mx(dot)ma/



In all cases, delete the mail and don’t click on the URLs which aren’t official PayPal domains or secured with https (occasionally phish pages use https, but they’re pretty rare).
