Good info. Paypal even tells you that they will never ask for personal information like that in an email. Too many scam artists out there.

You guys just now have heard of this? This has been around for a long time.

Also, if you haven't seen, there are emails that are supposedly sent by Microsoft...use this patch immediatly, dont use this!

Just use a little common sense, and you wont have problems.
