Thank You for using PayPal!



I jumped into my account and it doesn't show any "suspended" action taken. I haven't used the link but it shows secure or is this just BS.

    That sounds bogus to me. I have gotten many like that over the past year or two. I would not follow the link or reply. If you log in to your account they will notify you there if there are any issues.

    It's a spoof. Report it to eBay and PayPal (although the same people may handle both complaints).

    Forward the email to spoof@ebay.com. Don't add anything to it or change the subject line image

    I got this about a week and a half ago....and, coincidentally, it appeared on my local news last week. I have reported it to both, and suggest everyone else that gets it do the same. According to the piece on the news, it has taken alot of people for alot of money. BUT...we should all remember what ebay says....they will NEVER ask you for ANY important information such as is being asked by this email. I had serious questions about it from the first sentence, went to 'My ebay' and sure enough, wasnt suspended, and immediatley reported it.

    I get these regularly. Just delete them. That's what I've done and my PayPal account still works fine.

    A year ago they DID have something where you had to read and agree to a new user agreement, but never click on a link--anything you need to do you can do from paypal's website. Even if the link sends you to "www.paypal.com" I think it can be spoofed and really be another site.
    I heard they were making a French version of Medal of Honor. I wonder how many hotkeys it'll have for "surrender."

    No didn't get that one. It's a scam. Kreik, your link has a virus. Mcaffee picked it up as soon as I clicked on the link.

    Mcaffee is a piece of crap; your alert is in reference to the .exe download on that website.

    The humorus part is that, most of Microsoft’s patches are in that format as well.

    I got that a long time ago, twice (An earlier variant with similar wording but no date).

    I got it within just a few minutes of having used my PayPal account successfully. image

    I don't read any email from PayPal or eBay- period.
