HEADS UP! PAYPAL SCAM!

I haven't used paypal in forever and today I recieved and email stating
-----------------------------------------------------

You have added [email protected] as a new email address for your
PayPal account.

your account, please contact PayPal customer service at:

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run


Thank you for using PayPal!

Please do not reply to this e-mail. Mail sent to this address cannot be

PROTECT YOUR PASSWORD

NEVER give your password to anyone and ONLY log in at
https://www.paypal.com/.Protect yourself against fraudulent websites
by opening a new web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer or Netscape) and typing
in the PayPal URL every time you log in to your account.


-----------------------------------------------------

this is a scam and not pay pay if you click on the link and put in your email you could put basically anything for example (1234) and it will allow you in because it is fake and then will ask a ton of banking questions it will pretend it is asking for security but actually they want to take your information.

If you click the link you will see..

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I only caught onto it because I haven't used paypal in about 3 years so I was suprised when I got this email and I called them. I guess some spammers sent this out to tons of emails at a time so that they can hook a few people. So be AWARE!!
