Paypal Email Scam


Just received this email...it looked very legit. NEVER click a link to log in from an email. One flag for me is that I don't have a paypal account associated with this email account.

These are a dime a dozen.
I auto delete all such emails (the ones that actually get through my ISP block).

Remember, legit emails from paypal will start with YOUR NAME.
Never dear customer, friend, account holder, etc.
ALWAYS with your name!
