For those that aren't familiar with "Phishing", or those that are, but sometimes forget, I got one today that had the "PayPal" logo on it, but wasn't PayPal. It was someone "phishing" for my info to take me to the cleaners. I just got off of the phone with PayPal, and they confirmed it. It was addressed to "Dear PayPal Member". According to PayPal, they will address there Emails to the specific NAME on the account, along with your email address. They will never address it genericly (Dear PayPal Member). If you receive such a bogus email "phishing" for your financial info, so some two bit slimeball piece of sxxx can take you to the cleaners, you can forward it to "spoof@paypal com". The one I'd recieved said that they were suspending my account due to recent suspicious activety, and to click onto a link to resolve it. I had no intentions of passing on any info, but clicked onto the link to see what kind of info they were seeking. When I did that, my ISP (AOL), intercepted it and gave me back a reply that said they detected it as a "phishing" something or other. When I went to the actual paypal website and did a history on my account, there had only been 2 items (legit) in the past year, no others. That's when I called Paypal. Just be careful. We sometimes forget, or get lax, and we all work too hard to let some... take us to the cleaners. Mark
