I got the same one. Did what you did. They told me to send the email to them (I have gotten five of them). Send the email to [email protected] they can maybe trace the email or have their computer folks turn it in to police. NEVER give personal info to anyone you are suspicious and don't know.
I got a call last week from Mastercard. They asked for the last four digits of my SS. I hung up. That night a person called back. It Mastercard and there was an issue. They cancelled my card and are issuing a new one. I was suspicious... will not give SS out, especially on the phone.

I sometimes get them from "banks" that I don't have an account with.
If I was a younger, tech-savvy type, I would write a program that would flood their servers with thousands of fake "user IDs " and fake passwords, then they would have to waste all their time checking them out and finding they don't work.

Thank you...she is my sweetie. She is a Westiepoo, 1/2 west highland white terrier and 1/2 poodle. To be honest I wanted a pure west highland, but discovered they were a bit above my price range. I actually found mine on the internet, and fell in love with her at first picture. She was only around 4 weeks old when I saw the first pictures of her. She was shipped to me via airplane when she was 8 weeks old and she is my best friend. She is more like the west highland than poodle, temperment and all. She is a joy to have around. lol, she is at my feet right now, snoozing. Anyway I am glad you enjoy my avatar... :-D I have had several PM's asking about her. :D

I thought she was a Westie. She looks just like my Westies when they were babies. I love my Westies.

I have just logged onto the paypal account and if there is no alert than the offending email goes into the spam file ;)

I get these frequently and just forward them on to paypal security and then delete them. I NEVER click on a link in an email directing me to change or verify personal information. I will go to the actual website and check for any notices in my profile area or even send them an inquiry from their customer support or security area or if there is a number to call I will contact them. If nothing is there then just forget it. Ann in TN
