Yesterday while checking my email, i saw one from PayPal saying they were suspending my account temporarily and please log in to update info. Instead i called PayPal to see what was going on and was told it was a Bogus email! It was the same format PayPal uses and even had an ID #. The guy was amazed at how clever the hackers are getting. So PLEASE be careful and call instead of clicking the sites open!

i never click on the link in the email. i go there directly from my browser.

ditto,always a good idea if you follow this advice.

Good advice...thanks for the reminder!

I went directly to my PayPal account and the was no alert. That's when i called directly. They had me forward the email to them. What people won't try to get into your stuff!!

I have received it several times...

Me too!!! Naomi

If the guy was surprised, he must have been new to PayPal, cause I have been getting this e-mail for years. I also get them from banks I don't have accounts at, credit card companies for cards I don't have. They just mail them to everybody and if you happen to click, they got lucky.
There is an e-mail address you can forward the emails to, something like [email protected], not really sure. I used to forward them, but not anymore.
I also used to get e-mail saying I was late on payment for eBay item or did I still have some item I never had available.

My hubby got one yesterday that announced that a new person was being added to our account - unless we "object." We forwarded it to phishing at PayPal.

I also received one that said "my last transaction" had been rejected - - - - well, since I had not bought anything recently, I knew it was a scam - - and if I have an angry vendor out there, he is going to be sure to let me know!

Definitely!! :D :D
