Hi!
Look in your PayPal profile.
The Logo service is an option you have to provide you eekBay
UN/PSSWD for.
Just sounds like you need to update this part of your profile
with the new info.
When an eekBay or PayPal message addresses you by you _Full Name_
it is most likely legit.
I'm Don Sanderson here and everywhere else on the internet.
Only PP and EB know my full name with middle name, initials,
suffix, etc.
That's how I know spoofs, etc. at a glance.
If it's to "Dear [EMAIL PROTECTED]" it's bogus!
Don, et al, I should mention this I suppose.
Most recently I got my credit card updated. The one which is connected
with my PayPal acct. Basically, nothing changed except the 3 digit
number on the back and expiration date.
So, naturally, I went into my PayPal acct and updated it. It naturally
worked. I mean, PayPal indicated that they accept my update.
The next day... The next day I received the standard eBay/PayPal scam
like "dear such and such, your whatever account has been blocked by our
security system; please click to our favorite link here and enter your
credentials so that we can steal them..."
I am very much unamused.

PayPal frequently tells customers that if they have any question about
an email from them being authentic, they should access the PayPal site
using their browser and typing in the URL.
Then, access My PayPal (or whatever it's called) and then check your
incoming mail messages there.
If the email you got in your inbox was indeed from them, it would also
be in the PayPal incoming email folder on their site.
If it's NOT there, the original email you got in your inbox is a fake...
I invariably, and I mean *always* use "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" as an address
to forward questionable mail to.
And they have never failed to tell me the status of what they find.
If there's any question at all, this is the best tool you could use.
Further, none of the correspondences has *ever* been from PayPal!
They've all been phishing attempts. Odd, isn't it?
