We get the one that there is a warrant out for our arrest for missing a court date. And they want us to send a pre loaded visa card to pay the fine.

Thank you for the information on these.

And we have been getting calls that IRS is suing us. I tried to call number that theygave me and of course it didn't work. Anything to get our money. Be cautious folks.

I"ve gotten a couple of those emails over the years. I just go directly to my Paypal account and check it out. If everything is okay, I delete the email and forget it.

I've never had a paypal account but have gotten these emails at least once a year for years. I never respond to them, of course.

Thank you for the heads up!

I just got one of these and deleted it. I wasn't having any problems using Paypal. Never click on those email links--go directly to your Paypal account. Same with bank or any other scan where they want you to enter the site with the email link.
