    Don't answer it!!!!!! That's how accounts get emptied out, they can go right into your bank account if paypal is hooked up wit hit, same scams as when you get the notices form Ebay to update!

    Pay Pay (and ebay) will never ask for your password or sensitive account information. BEWARE!

    I just read an interview with a Paypal rep who said the easiest way to tell if these are scams is how they address you - if it starts with "Dear Paypal User" "Dear Customer" "Dear john@yahoo.com" or any other generic greeting it is a scam. All "official" messages will use the complete real name you registered with.

    That was good.

    I just send mine to spoof@ebay.com. I believe they track the IP adresses.
