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.
If you did not authorize this change or if you need assistance with your account, please contact PayPal customer service at: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run
Thank you for using PayPal! The PayPal Team
Please do not reply to this e-mail. Mail sent to this address cannot be answered. For assistance, log in to your PayPal account and choose the "Help" link in the header of any page.
---------------------------------------------------------------- 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!!
