Fake Paypal email
Just a heads up. I just got an email from what looked like paypal telling me that me account had been accessed from Spain. It wanted me to click a link but I put the cursor over the link and it was not Paypal. I called Paypal to verify. They said under no circumstance to click the link. I forwarded to them. Just thought you guys should know.

Re: Fake Paypal email
this is your first one? crap, i've probably got at least 20 paypal, and i have been getting one for ebay at least once a week for a year... i usually just report them to ebay or paypal... the thing i've always done is never clicked a link through an email, if they need my information updated when i log in on their site by typing in my browser www.ebay.com then they will say so when i log in...

Re: Fake Paypal email
I get emails from paypal all the god damn time. I've told myself that no matter what the email says, I'm not contacting them. If there was a problem, I'm sure they would tell me about it when I logged in. I just delete everything from them.
