PayPal Email Scam

[Ben42]

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.

Dear Customer,

We were notified recently by your credit card company that you initiated a
chargeback for a transaction you believe was unauthorized. Details of the
transaction are below.

We made this charge to your credit card as part of our credit card
verification process. As a way to verify that you own the credit card, we
issued a small charge and associated the transaction with a unique Member
Number. Once this charge and Member Number appear on your credit card
statement, Click on the link below or copy the link and put it in your browser and Fill in all required fields

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!
