this is a 2nd or 3rd time this has come around it is NOT from Paypal
2nd or 3rd?
I've got 7 email accounts (the REAL Paypal only knows of -one- and I've
only used it once, and that credit card has since expired) and -all-
email accounts get hit multiple times a day with this 'Paypal' scam.
It's nothing more than Phishing. If you -do- go to the site, by
clicking on the link, then any information you give, is equivalent to
authorizing thieves to access your money accounts.
I trash 'em.
