Paypal suggest that you send all emails to [email protected] and for Ebay [email protected] You will receive an email almost immediately telling you whether or not this is a fraudulent attempt or spoofing to get your information. They use this then to get that email address removed ASAP. Ed Eckert

I received an email stating that my Paypal account had unauthorized use, and to log in and check it. I clicked the link and logged in. They asked me to verify my information, and as I was about to do it, I noticed that the web address did not have Paypal in it. I quickly closed the window and logged into my Paypal account. There was no alert and I quickly changed my password to something completely different. If you get an email like this, DO Not log in, one of the things that they wanted was my credit card #. Log directly into Paypal and check your account. I almost gave my # to scammers. Wheew!
