Watch out for your Paypal Account

I'm posting this here since it seems the most appropriate place; hopefully the majority of Agon members and guests will see...

I just got an email that was placed in the "Junk" folder. Good thing. It was a bogus Paypal email. Attempted to get me to send personal information on my account.

I called paypal and they said:
1. They will always address you by name, never in general terms.
2. They never ask for personal info/passwords etc.

These emails may look pretty authentic but be forewarned!

I was told to send all suspicious emails to the junk folder where the attatchments are disabled and they cannot hurt your computer.

A lot of this was news to me - thankfully I was unharmed by it. Just sharing so we can enjoy our hobby without the scum of the world causing us grief!

Blessings,

Those emails go the all email accounts, including those not with a paypal account. They are just fishing.

I actually get those same emails from my own business telling me that my business is going to cancel my email account if I don't update my information.

I promise not to cancel myself....LOL!!

My server is clean and well protected, so they just took my email address from somewhere and sent me back a warning...
