I do not understand completely how its done, but I do know enough not to click on links. I just wanted to warn everyone here, because I know some might click on it, and the scammers would get your info. Here is a copy of the email that I received:

So if you get anything like this, call paypal, do not click on the link provided. Paypal will as you to send them a copy of the email so they can research and try to figure out who is sending these.
PayPal will never send an email like this.....if charges are above a certain amount they will CALL YOU....as they did to me last week!!

Be careful because some are supposedly sent from banks too. Never click on a link in an email. I almost did one time and I KNOW better. I just wasn't thinking. I realized what it was and felt so stupid, but at least I got out of it before I put in my password.

I just this morning rec'd an email from usps w/subject: Unable to deliever package. First clue: Have rec'd all pkgs I'm expecting and 2nd clue: How does the usps know my email address. I don't think so. Got rid of that puppy real quick.

Thanks for the warning. I don't fall for these, but DH does. Now if I could just get him to take a moment and really look at what it says and realize something isn't right.
