Warning - PayPal scam
I received the following email today:
They probably want to grab all my personal information so they can commit identity fraud and/or hack into my PayPal account.
Beware, folks.
From service@paypal-ebay.com Fri Nov 15 04:35:38 2002OK, this is a scam. I know because they sent it to the wrong email address - I'm signed up on PayPal all right, but using a different address.
