A new scam targeting PayPal customers uses convincing Google search ads and specially-crafted PayPal pay links to deceive users, particularly on mobile devices. Scammers create ads that impersonate PayPal, exploiting Google's policies to display fraudulent pages that appear legitimate. They use PayPal's "no-code checkout" feature to create pay links that seem authentic, tricking users into providing personal information. Users are advised to double-check URLs before entering any information.
