I just rec’d an email from paypal regarding SHA-256 upgrade. I can’t figure out what, if anything, I need to do in response. Bonanza.com is my only selling venue, and I can’t tell from email & googling question whether this is something I should be trying to change on Bonanza.com or in my Paypal account.
TYIA for any help you can provide.

It is a definite scam. Call Paypal direct using the contact number at the bottom of your Paypal page. They were very helpful. You may need to change passwords. I sent them a snapshot of all the fraudulent activity that occurred minutes after opening the email. You didn’t need more than just open the email for it to take over.

Paypal never puts a link in an email. Any email that looks like it is from Paypal with a link is a virus or from a hacker. Also the grammar in these fake emails is generally poor.
I deleted mine as well.

I thought it looked “different”, so I didn’t click either link, & instead went to Paypal to see if I had any communications from them—I didn’t, so had pretty much decided that this was some effort at a scam. I’ll change password AND forward the email to the spoof@paypal addy.
Thank you for reinforcing what I suspected.

Remember these tips:
- Use links to other sources to support your opinions
- Use examples where possible
- Put yourself in the inquirers shoes: what extra info would be helpful?
Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
