How to manage properly your PayPal account
When creating an online account with PayPal, make sure that your information is accurate. This is to make it consistent with information you have on the bank account, credit card or debit card you will be registering with them. A bank account and/or credit/debit card is used to make verification for your PayPal account. Without that, there is no way to withdraw money from them. In the process of verifying your account, you may be receiving PayPal alert email. This is sent only to the email you have registered and possibly to the alternate email you have provided. Providing an alternate email, especially with a different email server, assures your identity and ownership with PayPal. The important thing to take note of is: Do not create a PayPal account on a public computer. If you do not own a computer better not create an account. It is also not advised to access your PayPal account on public or other people’s computers.
The volume of business with PayPal grown tremendously that scammers are trying ways and means to scam people of their money. There are websites or emails that entice account holders to join them to earn so much with their PayPal account. Also, PayPal alert scam is being used through email. The most suspicious ones land in spam or junk mail. Be careful with those that accidentally land on your inbox. There are email servers that are able to detect if the source of the email is suspicious. Always remember that legitimate alerts from PayPal will only go to the inbox of your registered email addresses with them. The best thing to do when you receive an alert email is to check immediately on your account. Don’t bother responding to email yet.
