This is the PayPal site for "How do I report PayPal fraud or a PayPal Scam?"

I was soooo dumb once and fell for that because I had a hard time finding the info on PayPal about what to do. The e-mail looked so real to me - and even the spelling and grammar was good in it!

Finally found a phone number the next day and called PayPal and the PayPal person said CANCEL THAT CARD AT ONCE and get a new one.

Amythyst, thanks for the heads up. Love your avitar. Cutest puppy I've seen in a long time. What type of breed is it?

Thanks for the heads up. I never open anything unless I recognize the sender. If something is important--to save my "fortunes" they will call me or send me a letter. Otherwise, they have all my information. Thanks for the reminder.

Gee thanks for the heads up. I just started with paypal and not sure how I would have handled this. I got my first Nigeria email re $900,000 - that was a little more obvious lol.
