My Son and Daughter have had emails, supposedly from Pay Pal asking for personal information. They never respond to them. I have not used pay pal.
Thank you for alerting us about this.

I got one of those emails, and the funniest part is that I do not have a pay pal account. Think I even opened it? Not

When I get those, I can forward it to their fraud mail center, and the look into it and get back to me. You are so right, never click on them.

This is called "Phishing" (not a typo). If you go to the Microsoft website and type in the Phishing term in the search, you will see a good explanation and information that will help you catch it when it comes. I would put in the link, but then this e-mail would be moved and no one would see it in with the other replies.

I rec'd the same one last week, and I promptly forwarded it to [email protected]

After not receiving any weird emails for years, I have gotten 4 in the past two weeks. Makes me wonder WHY or WHAT I am doing to get those?????
