| Has anyone received any emails from paypal stating that there has been "suspicious activity" on their accounts? I just received an email from them. They said unknown activity from Romania and Poland-unknown IP addresses were trying to purchase using my paypal account. I then went to their website, (not using their emails link) but typing in my paypal account and found nothing indicating any such activity. Anybody else? |

| Do NOT use their links. Those emails are SPOOFS trying to get your information. I was getting them for awhile, and then they finally stopped. |

I get these all the time, and I don't even have a paypal account. ------------- 
Just looking for a few good hair slaves - is that too much to ask? |

stay away from the email. Mark it as spam so your filter will
toss the next one. Once you start getting these i find they never
stop. |

If you are worried about it, call Paypal on the phone and ask them. I once received a strange email from them, and I called them to ask about it. They confirmed that it was in fact a fradulent email. ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

I used to get these all the time, i sent the email to ebay and they confirmed they were spoofs. Do that then change your passwords, but dont answer the email. |

Luckily, I'm naturally mistrusting and didn't click on the link they provided. Thanks girls for all the responses! |

I probably get 3 a week either about my paypal or ebay account. Some of them are pretty convincing so I finally installed ebays toolbar that will let you know if you go to a spoof sight. |
