    Thanks for the reminder; I have received them in the past, too.

    I got that same email this week.
    I wanted to send it to Paypal's pfishing alert but couldn't find an email address so I just deleted it without clicking on ANYTHING within the bogus email.
    Thanks for the warning. Even cynical people like me who never open an email unless I recognize who it's from could easily make a mistake.

    Usually SPAM messages are littered with typos, but that one was pretty good. I did catch the English usage of apologise versus the American usage (apologize) in the message. PayPal is a US company, so that was one tip off. PayPal never sends e-mails with links like that anyway. They're all SPAM. Forward them to [email protected]

    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

    This scam has been around for awhile - but you are correct - everyone be aware - you should never click on a link and provide any information about your account. It is too easy for these scammers to hide who they really are.
