I only today discovered this thread so I traced it back and read it all.
Only this week I received and bit on a Paypal phishing/scam email.
I became suspicious immediately, broke the link then went to Paypal
via typing in the address.
I followed their instructions to change my password etc.
As another Tom did, I in the beginning set up a separate checking
account to link my Paypal account to. It never has much $$ in it. I
usually transfer or deposit just what I need to make the purchase.
I mentioned this idea of a separate account to a online retailer I
made several purchases from and they liked the idea so well that they
set up the same for them selfs.
I've never been ripped off in this fashion but I recognize the
possibility and take what precautions I can.
Regards all,
Tom
