Beware of those suspicious e-mails, stating in the subject line. Account Notification. Below are some I have collected from a few of the subject line in my e-mail account, but there are many, many more.

Here they are:
PayPal Electronic Funds Transfer
New email added to your account!
Your Closed Account Status!
New email added to your PayPal account!
Account Notification! These are for Bank accounts like (Wells Fargo, Chase, etc.)
Now these are just a few I have posted.
This is for real, and these are in my emails everyday!

I know these are suspicious emails. So, beware don’t become a victim to these scams. Here is what they do. They ask you to update your account information.
I have been personally taken by one of these fraudulent emails. I honestly thought I needed to update my account. So, I did and I was scammed for $2000 dollars. Yes it’s true.

I reported it to my Bank. And my bank put a 2 million dollar over draft charge on my account so not even a penny could be withdrawn from this account. And what blew me away was my Bank gave me back every penny I had in my account before all these fraudulent withdraws began. And they even opened up me a new account. And they did not charge me a dime.

I have reported these evil emails "I call them" many, many times. But it looks like nothing is being done to protect us from these email frauds. I was lucky enough that my Bank gave me back all the money I had in my account before these fraudulent withdraws started. The people at my Bank are 100% for their customers.
You can always tell who are your true friends, when your back is against the wall. And I had great friends at my Bank.

Ok, How do we protect ourselves against these fraudulent emails?

First, don’t open any suspicious emails. Instead go to your account they are saying that needs to be updated. Not through their evil emails. And see if your account needs to be updated. Example: say you receive a email saying that you need to update your Wells Fargo Bank account or PayPal account. What you Should do is, go online to your bank, or PayPal web site, and sign in and see if they say you need to update your account. And make all changes at their web site. Not through any emails. Always go to your original web site.

Make sure you delete all the fraudulent emails Unopened!!!

Just don’t open up any emails that seems suspicious. And never give out any of your Personal Information. Period!!! And you’ll be OK!
