Tips To Say Safe using PayPal
I will share some tips that you can apply to keep your PayPal account safe while doing your online transactions.
1. Don’t use PayPal to buy or sell illegal goods or services. This includes anything that is copyrighted, trademarked, or patented, like software, music, movies, and games.
2. Be cautious when dealing with new sellers or buyers. If someone you don’t know well offers to pay you through PayPal or asks you to pay them through PayPal, be sure to check their feedback score and history first.
3. Pay attention to the email address you receive payment notifications from. If the email address is different from the one you usually see when you log into your PayPal account, it could be a sign that your account has been hacked.
4. Avoid clicking on links in PayPal emails unless you are absolutely sure they are legitimate. PayPal will never ask you to click on a link to log into your account or update your personal information.
5. Be careful when using public Wi-Fi to access your PayPal account. If you must use public Wi-Fi, be sure to log out of your account and close all browser windows when you are finished.
6. Use a strong password for your PayPal account and never share it with anyone. A strong password is at least 8 characters long and includes a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols.
7. Keep your computer and browser up-to-date with the latest security patches. This will help to protect your PayPal account from being hacked.
8. Be aware of phishing scams. These are emails or websites that pose as PayPal and try to trick you into entering your login information.
9. Report any suspicious activity on your PayPal account to customer service right away.
10. Keep a close eye on your account balance and transactions. This will help you to spot any unauthorized activity quickly.
