I get these e-mails about from "PayPal" and "eBay" about four times a day...
If you use Gmail, most/all of these phishing e-mails are labeled with a red tag.
Just delete the e-mail(s).

LOL I get it daily myself and retrace the IP for fun and then if I get one I send to PayPal. I am tired of these morons, but they are going to keep trying.

If you get an email saying that your bank account/ebay account/paypal account may be closed or info needs updating go to the offical website by typing the link in your browser (if it seems real), another tip is to mouseover the link within the email to see if it's the proper link to the web site, but be aware that the link & mouseover can be fake too :yell:

Obviously yes.

[barefoottech]

Simple way to know if FAKE
Paypal nevers sends real ones to you

Well i get loads of them ... But most of time my gmail ID blocks it and sends to Spam folder.But its little difficult for other systems and sometimes i have to block a few.

I got a new one about 'a new email address has been added to your paypal account'... that one had me scared until I logged in through my own link to paypal and saw just my email addresses.

I get these a lot. Sometimes, I login with something like:

User: ImReportingYou
Pass: ToPaypal
