This is a Warning, Be careful about opening a particular E-Mail from "Pay Pal".It is not marked as spam. I checked my e-mail today and got one from Pay Pal in my normal mail folder. It had said that there was an unauthorized credit card access on my account. The email looked just like paypals, everything was legitamite. It asked me to click a link to log in and I would be asked a few questions to reset my account. I clicked the link wondering what was going on, right then McAfee popped up saying that the site was a phishing site and to block it immediatly.

Just to be sure nobody did access my account. I opened up a new window and went to paypals site and there was nothing about an unauthorized credit card access. Watch out for this e-mail just in case there is more going around. Let me know if anybody has received one already.

Uh, I get these everyday. You're an idiot for clicking on the link in the first place.

If it doesn't say Dear YOURNAME,

Then you know it's a scam.

^Even if it does say your name, I still wouldn't trust it...

Its best to just goto the actual website yourself and log in there. At least then you know for sure.
