If you'r a paypal user, watch out for an email telling you that they found a problem with you'r account. then it says to click here to remove the limitation. and asks you to sign in. DON'T DO IT. that will give them acsess to you'r account. It's a pretty convincing page. untill you compare it with the real sign in site.
 
Check the URL

These types of scams can usually be identified by the URL Link. If it directs you to an IP address rather than the Paypal URL, it is a scam.
 
I get a couple of these a day...along with the guy from South Africa wanting to send me my millions...and the Virginia credit union offer that I've won $125 and they want to put it in my account.:rolleyes:
 
Paypal

Thanks for the warning. I've had enough trouble with Paypal already and i'd hate to have to straighten out something else with them since i've been trying for a couple of months to get a refund authorized by a seller returned to me. I used to like Paypal, but that was before I needed their help with a problem.
