Many of us use PayPal as a way to add an extra layer of security onto our online shopping payments. But with a giant name like PayPal, there will always be some fraudster out there trying to trick people out of their accounts - and even money.
With the Cost of Living crisis giving many households extreme stress and money worries as it is, it is worth making sure you're well aware of possible scams when it comes to your money. Fortunately, a cybersecurity expert from VPNOverview.com - Theodor Porutiu - has outlined the most common PayPal scams of the year so far, and how you can avoid them.
Most of these scams will come through to your email address, so it's worth being wary of every message you receive. What's more, there are scams directed at both buyers and sellers, and even those which claim to be from charities looking for help with relief efforts, especially after a natural disaster or similar event.
