I've just got off the phone with PayPal. I found a "we're checking your
account" email suspicious, and called for verification. As I suspected,
it was fraudulent.

I'm posting just to remind everyone to be suspicious. PayPal says that
all their email addresses the recipient by first and last name --
always! Also, don't respond: phone or go to their web site (*Not* from a
link in the email -- duh!).

I know these are obvious precautions, but it's always worth repeating.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to that Nigerian minister
with the uncut diamonds and beautiful daughter I'm trying to help out.
