I had someone hack into my paypal and withdraw money from my checking acct! I finally got in and transfered the money back in and then promptly closed the account.

Thank you so much for this info. I don't have a paypal account yet but will remember this when I get one. It does look real.

I get these pretty regularly. After a few of them you just know they're phony. I forward them to Paypal's team, which Paypal seems to appreciate. 8-)

I received one similar to this several months back and called paypal. It was also a scam. They were trying to get my info.
As someone said on the board, a good way to tell is the salution. If it's scamming it will read "Dear Paypal Member", as opposed to Paypal's knowledge of refering to you by name. They know it, and will use it in all correspondence.
