Warning to all Paypal users.
 
This is a copy/paste from a site i visit:

Quote:

WARNING to Pay-Pal users!!!
This is way Off Topic, but important, so I posted it here. Feel free to move it if you want to.

I received a very suspicious e-mail yesterday that supposedly came from PayPal Security Center . The subject is Verify PayPal, please Verify PayPal, please. The body of the e-mail says:


quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This e-mail is the notification of recent innovations taken by PayPal to detect inactive customers.

The inactive customers are subject to restriction and removal in the next 3 months.

Please confirm your email address by logging in to your PayPal account using the form below:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


It then procedes to ask for your e-mail/password, a bank account number, and/or a credit card number. It looks very professional and I almost didn't think about it being a scam. All of the links go to pay-pal sites as well.

I e-mailed Pay-Pal and they verified it did NOT come from them, and are trying to figure out who's sending these. Again, it is a SCAM and they are stealing credit card / bank account numbers!

Be careful out there guys, these things are getting more and more common!
