qj. its a scam . in the url link look where it says http

[QuadJunkies]

thought so... :mad:

BTW.... We had a dude on a pocket bike checking out all the quads in our garage the other night, wanted to know ALL about them,and how much was invested....My kids no longer use the garage door opener after school, all my deadbolts are locked and windows locked,I am not taking the chance..

Kuna has been robbed severly lately including a freind of mine who got her home vandelized SEVERLY. They only took some of her jewelry, but bashed in all her sinks, broke almost everything she owns.She lives one sub. down from us..Some of her items was things that are very sendimental and cannot be replaced.

Just a small reminder of how fast these people can ruin everything you spend your hard earned money to have.

Make sure you are INSURED!!

Paypal doesn't send out e-mails requesting information. I think it say that on their home page.

SCAM

Report it to pay pal and call there customer service....not everyone is like you....some will not ask questions and get there identities stolen. So report it so Pay Pal can take legal action.

QJ, here it is cut and dried. Anytime you get an email from Paypal, read it but consider it a scam and junk it. Then, type in the paypal address and go to the site. Log in and see if anything pops up saying you need to update. Then you will know the truth. I remember changing something in my account and I recieved legit emails saying I needed to change something else as well. If you don't respond long enough even the legit emails stop coming.:p I don't worry about updating my account every single time Paypal thinks it's time to do so.

PayPal will never address you like this" Dear valued PayPal® member"

They will always address your full name !

[wishmasstir]

Im being REALLY,extra cautious right now. The guy could have been just interested,intruiged... who knows... I think he wanted to steal them personally!!

The loss of all 5 quads would be very devestating!!! :eek:

It sais when u sign up for paypal and on their homepage that they will never ask you for anything regarding your information. I don't even respond to emaisl that are truly from paypal, if they really need something it will be on my paypal account page

[derekhonda]

I get some of those emails in email accounts different from my actual paypal email. Definately a scam, paypal already has all the information they need from you when you signed up.
