PAYPAL SECURITY REMINDERS

Email Links and Logging In

If you are logging in to your PayPal account after clicking a link
in an email or clicking on a logo, make sure the URL appearing in
your browser window begins with <https://www.paypal.com>.

Confirm your requests for payments!

In order to confirm your requests for payments, please login to your
PayPal account and check the &quot;Overview&quot; or &quot;History&quot; subtabs of the
&quot;My Account&quot; tab for proper receipt for a money request. If you have
received a money request for an auction, be sure to check that the
requester's email address matches the auction seller's email address.

If there is a discrepancy between the money request you received in
your email and what is reflected in your transaction history, please
contact us at service@paypaI.com

Protect Your Password!

PayPal and its representatives will NEVER ask you to reveal your
password. There are NO EXCEPTIONS to this policy. If anyone asks for
your password by phone or by email, or on any website other than
PayPal.com, refuse and immediately report this to service@paypaI.com

It's a scam - try it. It really does go to PayPal but it's a REQUEST FOR PAYMENT to someone else!



<< PayPal is the online service that lets you quickly and easily pay your friends by email. In order to pay this request, you need to sign up with PayPal. Follow these easy steps to create your PayPal account (If you already have a PayPal account using a different email address, please login and add this email address to your account in the Personal Info section.): >>

Just try copy and paste the link, but replace their &quot;paypal&quot; with the proper one and see if it shows anything

does paypal still give out 5.00/referal? If so, maybe that's what this guy is doing...see the ID portion in the link?

He could make a lot of money off of new people signing up. Maybe you can e-mail paypal about it..if you care (?)

erub,

You should put the word &quot;Paypal&quot; in your thread title, so the 'Bot will see it. He's not programmed for message body search.
