Thanks Ditter. Please give me an example of Paypal phishing schemes. Are they similar to the phoney Emails that pretend to be AT&T or Bank of America?

I NEVER respond to a phone call or email asking for info or money, so that wouldn't work. That includes charities, because scammers masquerade as them, too. All my fund raiser money goes to Susan G Komen, Relay (another BC fund raiser), Autism Speaks and my college.

It's amazing how scammers can make emails look so real. I ALWAYS look at my statements for the REAL phone numbers and call the company to ask if they're sent emails - they usually have not.
