Just an FYI, in case anyone else gets an email...
I got an email to my main account from Pay Pal stating I needed to update my info or my account would be closed. When you click on the link, it takes you to a site that looks identical to PayPal..same graphics, logo, tm, etc..
My computer recognized it as a phishing site and gave me a warning before ever logging onto it(I knew it was bogus before regardless)
Thanks Allen. I have pp account and will be on the lookout.
always look at email address it comes from..
its always something different like @paypall.com NOT @paypal.com
being a ebay powerseller i get them all the time from bogus addresses like that.. its always contains ebay or paypal in address, but its always got something weird added to it or spelled different than it should be.
when i doubt log into website and if nothing is stated when logged into paypal or ebay the email is bogus link .
trust nothing on emails until confirmed on the website in question directly.. don't use links provided in emails.
X711 is right - don't click on any email links that claim to be from your bank, ebay account, paypal account, etc. Go directly to the website for that account and sign in, and if it is real there should be some kind of notification there. Also look for some place to report the phishing emails on the real website, and forward the bad email to that address.
