PayPal users: the lastest identity theft email

I came home just a few minutes ago to find an paypal receipt for 410.00 for an X-Box. I didn't order it, neither did DH. At the bottom of the email, there is a link "CLICK HERE TO DISPUTE CHARGES", but if you mouse over it, the link is NOT to Paypal, it goes to a site that presumably steals your info.

DONT CLICK ON THOSE!

Delete the email, close the browser and log into paypal from a new internet explorer window and see if there are any new charges. Just be safe, change your PW.

I am usually pretty good at spotting those, but this one almost got me, it looks that good.

Chat Icon I got one today too! looked so real! It said I bought Sony Camera Phone for $313.00 and I DID click the link to dispute but it just took me to a bad link screen/message.

I also forward it to [email protected]

I just deleted it, nothing has shown up in my paypal acct yet I hope it doesn't! Chat Icon

There are some scary new ones. I got scammed on ebay the other day and Im the QUENN (IMO) of recognizing them...well apprently not.

Someone asked me a question about a current auction and stole my password Chat Icon
