Just out of curiousity I checked the site www.westernunion.com and it looks legit, but going to this link brings up a blank page. Tried it again and a screen popped up for an 1/8 of a second and had a status indicator bar deal that zipped right through.
Anyone have any ideas about this?
edit: I've now received 4 of this same email...
got another one from "paypal"...
Dear PayPal Member,
Please log into your PayPal account using the following link to confirm you are still an active PayPal user asap.
We are now requesting the password to the e-mail address you signed up to PayPal with. This is so our systems can confirm the confirmation e- mails off PayPal stay in your account because there has been a rise in the amount of fraudsters getting access to users e-mail addresses and deleting the Paypal confirmations. This is to protect you and ourselves. PayPal will use this information for fraud protection only.
Please do not edit any details.
