First off, I have not had a paypal account for several years, not just inactive but shut closed locked change the credit cards and bank accounts fpaypal done (I hate paypal)

So I get this email today..........

You have added electronics4freee@yahoo.com as a new email address
for your PayPal account.


If you did not authorize this change or if you need assistance with
your account, please contact PayPal customer service at:

Thank you for using PayPal!
The PayPal Team





Please do not reply to this email. Mail sent to this address cannot be
answered. For assistance, log in to your PayPal account and choose
the "Help" link in the header of any page.

The address that the link actually goes to

httpss://rds.yahoo.com/S=44831148
:[/b]D1/CS=44831148/SS=44831166/SIG=11v8331g7/*
httpss://211.5.171.218/image/web/updatedb/

Which takes you to a page says "This page has moved click here blah blah blah" which is a javascript "javascript:Start('sysdll.php') , actually, 90% of the links on that page are linked to the javascript.
