PayPal Donations

(1/4) > >>

Dennis Vogel:
In another thread "Change of Donation Address" there is discussions about supporting bible-truths.com using PayPal. And I noticed some here recently signed up at PayPal just to donate.

I've used PayPal for many years for my personal purchasing on EBay, Amazon and other sites and never had any problems.

But I want everyone who uses PayPal to be aware that there are email scams designed to steal from your PayPal account.

To stay safe, never click on a link in an email to go to your PayPal account (or EBay, Amazon, etc.). 99% of the time these links are false. They will take you to a page that looks official but the only purpose is to get your personal information.

If you need to go to PayPal just open your browser (Internet Explorer) and type in "paypal.com"  This way you'll know for sure you are on the actual PayPal site.

Just a heads up.

Dennis

Dennis,

  What about if you are already in paypal, and it says to return to e-bay?  Is it okay to click on the link then?  Thanks for the heads up.  I am a heavy user of ebay and paypal and cannot afford to have any funds taken from me.

  Sincerely,

Yes, Anne, you can trust the links from PayPal to ebay. However, pay attention to the address bar in your browser whenever you visit a website. Some designers of scams design websites that look like the real thing, like Dennis explained. If you see that the domain name is not the real domain name, then you know it's something fishy going on. The new Opera web browser has a built-in "anti-phishing" filter that might help.

I take this opportunity to ask you what these words in your signature mean:

Et in Terra Pax, Eternum perficio
Je Sus Prest

Shouldn't it be, "Et in Terra pax, bonae voluntatis"? What does perficio mean? And what about Je Sus Prest? I can see the words "Jesus" and "priest" there, but then again... I don't know the real meaning.
