Most people or companies these days have a PayPal account. So it would make perfect sense that scammers would want to utilize that popularity and go after your account.
If you are unaware, you could give away your sign-in and password. It usually starts with an authentic looking email. They are clever and use company logos etc to make it look real.
Clicking on the link in that email will spell trouble. If you are not sure, go directly to the website without using the link that was provided. Then check your account.
Here is an excellent article from Eset, a virus protection company. Thanks
