Really??  Damn, that's bad.  I have never had anything but trouble with Banggood and refuse to purchase anything from them.  I hope you got it straight without too much of a financial hit. Sad

PayPal has it's own security which is not related to BangGood nor any site which uses PayPal for payment, stores just redirect you to PayPal with a token. Can't blame BG for all your problems.

Not blaming anyone for anything, but myself. Never knew there was such a thing as a fake PayPal login page ? I do now, fact is I've purchased bits from banggood in the past without issues. My tablet is secure and I regularly run virus scans, op was just a warning to all to be vigilant, I have emailed banggood and let them know, hope this is an isolated case and nobody here gets caught out like I have

So you made payment and got redirected to BG? I thought that's normal as you always get redirected to the payment success page of the online shop you are shopping at from paypal?
Did you lose any money?

No money lost as yet ?, PayPal themselves have been great. I spotted a direct debit on my PayPal account yesterday ? Wasn't aware direct debits could be set via PayPal, I am now. Cancelled it immediately, I would have missed it if it were a small amount
