Hello again,

Just thought I'd report another scam to you all. Today I received an email from "PAY.PAL.COM" stating that there was an issue with a previous transaction. Of course this is a phishing attempt because I haven't used Paypal in over two months and their web address is paypal not pay.pal. Anyway, they requested I log in and "resolve the issue" through the email link. I forwarded the email to paypal.

Beware....

Yea never use a link you get in an email to get into paypal. Dont have a credit card linked to your paypal account. Your money will be safer that way. I never leave a big balance in my paypal account or in the checking account linked to paypal. It doesnt take long for someone to wipe out your account, but it does take quite awhile to recover your funds if someone gets in.
