I have posted this on various boards, including FAOL a number of times....it also applies to emails from Ebay.......
Don't EVER open an email from either!!!!....If it is a valid email, you will have a message on their site when you go through your standard opening & login procedure.
When you receive an email from PayPal or Ebay, DO NOT open the email but simply forward, without any note, to:
spoof@paypal.com
spoof@ebay.com
You will be notified, usually telling you it WAS a "phishing" attempt.
Better safe than sorry...I have never had a problem.
Mike
ps: Don't open ANY business emails...go to the company's website. Also, I have NEVER had a "valid" notice of suspension, problem, or request for validation from EITHER Ebay or PayPal.
