    Speaking of Paypal! WTF??

    I just got this in my email box, looks real to me and I got a little nervous, but thinking this must be a very nice little SCAM?? I NEVER sent $2000.00 to anyone! Heck I wish I had this kind of cash in my bank account right now. I somehow managed to copy the page and save it in word document...HELP?!?!

    You are never supposed to sign on Paypal through an email. If they need you to log on for something they tell you to go to their site and do it. They never ask for account information. You will get the same thing from Ebay. It's called phishing

    When you point your pointer over the link look at the bottom and it will tell you where you are clicking to. Usually its a long one that redirects you to a password verification page and boom, they got your info and start draining your account.

    Also, look at the email address in the from. It's ppll.com, not paypal.com. That in itself should tell you somethig, since Pay Pal will only use their domain name for sending emails.
