Dear Quilting Friends, I'm a longtime PayPal user, and want each of you to have a safe experience using their service. Here is something for you:
Take our Fight Phishing Challenge at
https://www.paypal.com/fightphishing]https://www.paypal.com/fightphishing[/url] to learn 5 things you should know about phishing. You'll also see what we're doing to help fight fraud every day.

By forwarding a suspicious-looking email to
[email protected], you help keep yourself and others safe from identity theft. Thanks,
The PayPal Team

Thanks I did pass the test 100% but I have learned from friends and family what not to do. I did get my email hacked one time and since then I am extra careful

This is good information to apply to ANY email you get that states it is from your bank, credit card company, home loan, etc. Be careful out there!

And how do we know for sure that's not a bogus paypal email like all the others that arrive in our mailboxes? :shock: :D
