Re: [RCSE] PayPal scam alert! Read if you have a PayPal account!
Its a class of scam called a "phish", there are quite a lot around. Two things to lookout for.. 1) The don't address you by nameanything "Dear User" is suspect. 2) They all need you to click on a link in the mail. Don't click on links in Emails --- copy and paste to a new browser window. Don't give out personal information on web forms that came with Email, if the company wantsthat informationthat badly they can call you. There is a particularily nasty form of phish you have to be really careful of. The first generation is just a forgery of a company website. Thenew generation use a pop-up form over the top of a relevant page from the legitimate company website. You have to be really on the ball to spot them. More informaton?

RE: [RCSE] PayPal
I like the ease of use with PayPal (once registered) and of course, anyone with an email address can send/receive money. I just sent in my annual CASL club dues with it.

RE: [RCSE] PayPal
I was skeptical at first, but I have been using it for about five months now and love it. It is free, fast, secure and you have a great record of your transgressions, err... transactions.
