I used to get emails like that, I forwarded one ot paypal and they said they knew there were some scams going and they were looking into it. I would go ahead and send it to them so that they can scan your account to be sure everything is ok, just be sure you send it to the real paypal.

I do not use my PayPal account that often so apon reviewing my info prior to calling or emailing, I realized that the email account that this notice came to is not the email addy I have on file with them.

Call me Sherlock but I think I figured it out...

:rolleyes:

I get ebay and paypal email's like that all the time. Just delete them.

Same here, I just forward them to paypal.

Just forward it to spoof@paypal.com and they will email you back within 5 minutes and let you know if it's spam. Also, Paypal will always address you by your full name.

[huffdaddy_400EX]

It's not spam, it's called "phishing". The link will direct you to a server that appears to be paypal. They instruct you to login and once you do they have access to your account. :eek2:

Just forward the email to paypal (DO NOT LINK THE LINK) like Lolli2 said

not sure about the paypal emails, but i get some fake emails from ebay all the time. Ebay said if they send you an email and it doesnt seem real, log in on their site and check your mail folder on their, and if the same email is not in their, then its fake, and you should forward it to them.

not good, I would suggest changing your password ASAP!!

[660Grizz04]

I probaly should .... but what ive been thinkin it is .... like someone mentioned before .... theres links that send you to a fake paypal link .... thats what i think the link is. becaues when i clicked on the link i recived in my mail .... i went there and tryed to find a contaced us link or something and couldnt find one .... but when i typed paypal in on my browser i found it right off .....

[huffdaddy_400EX]

I would go to the "actual" site (www.ebay.com or www.paypal.com) and change your password. You should never just click on a link in an email anymore. There are too many scams out there.
