Trading safely online entails keeping away from hackers and scammers too.

I have always believed in my online safety because I have always been careful with my account passwords. Not a single month has passed without resetting my passwords. However, something awful happened in PayPal some months ago. I totally ignored the fact that other than account hackers, scammers were too existing online and so many people were at risk of losing so much money to them. I received a message when login in to my PayPal account that required me to submit my credit card pin number in order for me to transact at ease with PayPal. Without thinking, I submitted the details. After a few days, I was shocked to realize that I was scammed ad that I had lost so much from my account. The pay pal scam left me almost broke. I have never recovered from this loss and this has brought so many financial problems to me. I advise PayPal users to be wary of these scammers too. As we secure our accounts, let us treat everything with suspicion too because we may never know if its a scam or not.
