I just recieved a second e mail that said my pay pal info needs to be updated or it would be cancelled.Looks very official.
I am not a member of pay pal and have never been.So beware, and don't fall for this scam.Tracy

There's often one easy way to tell. If you hover over the link they include, it will often look like
Code:
http://(ip address)/(something that looks like paypal)


If it does, it's a scam. It may be a scam anyway, but that may save some time deciding!

This has been covered in the Computer section several times. There are many Scam e-mails around and this is just one.

One key, a real Pay Pal e-mail will have your name on it, the Scam's do not include your name.

If you have already fell for this scam, you immediately need to either close your account and reopen a new one, or change all of your information. In a couple of months, your money will be gone.
