I got a messed up email just now.
It was from what they wanted me to beleive
was paypal.
It wasnt.
Here...
This is what it said...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
dear paypal®member

provided was incorrect.
Please take 5-10 minutes out of your
online experience and update your personal
records.
However, failure to update your records
will result in account suspension.
To update your paypal® records click on

now when I clicked on the link, it took me
to what appeared tobe a log in page.. I
typed in my email.. Some random password
cuz i'd forgotten the one I used (i think
I typed f*ckf*ckf*ck, minus the asterisks
just cuz I knew I would never use that
password lol..) and it took me to what
looked like my paypal page (it even said
*log out* at the top to make me think I
was actually logged into my account) well,
it asked me for all my stuff like cc
information, moms maiden name, all that
jazz.. Basically everything they'd need
to jack my identity and money.
Well I went to paypal.Com directly, not
clicking on a link, and typed in the same
password just for fun and it wouldnt let
me in, kept giving me error messages like
it should have done.
So I know it was a fake site.
So if you guys have papal, and get an
email like that from them... Dont fall
for it.
Also, they will never send itto *paypal
member* it will always always always say
your name.
Ok. Just wanted to let you guys know.
