Warning! Another scam maybe?

Crazy4Coins

Anybody else receive a email from Paypal (at least it appears to be from them) saying a new email address has been added to your account? Then providing a link if you disagreed with this. When I log directly on to Paypal it shows nothing of the sort.

A little OT but probably worth mentioning.

At least one every other week and still they haven't done anything about it. Keep sending it to spoof@paypal.com and there still coming in.

yeah it's a scam.
If you want to check, you can usually right-click (with your mouse) on the message and choose the "view source" option.
This usually brings up the message in Notepad and you can scroll down to where the link is located.
If it is a "phish" scam, in front of the normal paypal link you will see other stuff pointing to a different website.
I can't show an example as the different systems now pretty much block them.
But if your browser doesn't have the current security patches, if you click on the "phished" link, it will take you to the
website URl in front of the regular Paypal link. The browser won't show the extra "phish" junk in front of the URl, it just shows the regular URL.

One thing that I don't understand is: I keep getting the scam emails for the new paypal email address and the one about my paypal receipt to phonebuyer for the "myst" game..... and I get them every freaking week- so if I didn't fall for those scams the first time, why would they think I would fall for it the 89th time??
