this is the most sophisticated phishing e-mail I have ever received and if they had sized the logo correctly and actually proofread the fucking thing I probably would’ve clicked that button
actually please reblog this because someone else got it too. do not click on the links in this e-mail if you get one like it, just forward it to spoof@paypal.com and delete it
“Review Your’s Accounts” was a big hint, but there was one glaring mistake, even bigger than the wrongly-sized logo, and it’s one that can never be fixed by scammers:
Top tip - Paypal, and indeed almost every legitimate business you have email contact with, will always use your name rather than a generic honorific like “client” or “Sir/Madam”.
If it doesn’t say your name anywhere in the message, do not trust it.
First thought: Ho-ho, that clunky English is a dead giveaway.
Second thought: If English wasn’t my first language would I notice the clunks?
As @justhere4coffee points out, real business contacts address you by the name you gave them when you signed up (and it wasn’t Sir/Madam Client, was it…?)
Here’s another tip: When you hover your cursor over a click-button, the destination URL will appear on a pop-up or at the bottom of the screen. Know what the correct one should be. If the email pop-up is different, it’s a fake.
(If you don’t know the correct URL for PayPal, eBay, Amazon or wherever the email claims to come from, find out.)
If you’re thinking ” why am I seeing this?I haven’t used PayPal / eBay / Amazon in weeks”, check your account information on the actual business website.
Finally, forget the “I hit reblog SO FAST” stuff.
Think before you click, especially if an unexpected email has ominous phrases like: “please respond within 24 hours or…”, “penalties may be incurred if…” That’s very, very dodgy.
A legitimate business email works by calendar, not by stopwatch.
Very important!

okay, i keep seeing these recovery posts that ALL INCLUDE romantic relationships in them and i am tired of our society’s romonormative bs, so here’s for my ace and aro-specturm kids: one day, you’re going to wake up feeling excited for the day and the life ahead of you, feeling like a real person whose feelings and desires are valid and real, secure in the knowledge that you are loved and lovable, whether or not you wake up with someone in bed beside you.

two or more women talking to each other about something other than a man
at least one female character with her own narrative arc that is not about supporting a man’s story
a female character that cannot be removed from the plot and replaced with a sexy lamp without destroying the story.
Chef’s Specials:
no woman assaulted, injured or killed to further the story of another character.
complex women defined by solid characterization rather than a handful of underdeveloped masculine-coded stereotypes.
Furiosa test.
^^
“Ghostbusters” blows all of these tests completely out of the water.
And generates at least one that I think ought to be added:
The Pizza Night Test
Women are shown eating non-salad food and no comment is made about anyone getting fat or breaking their diet.
I love everyone in this bar.
