FYI for those who use Paypal
I got another one today I haven't gotten before. It was regarding my PayPal account. I used paypal once probably 5 years ago and that's it. I didn't even know if it was still active or not.
Anyway, the e-mail "claimed" that several attempts to open my account were made (something to that effect) and I simply had to click the link and "verify" my info.
Just beware anyone who has used Paypal. I think Geoff's mentioned he does.

I get MANY of these F'ing PayPal ones every day, and I just delete them. Problem is, one of them was REAL! They actually did put a hold on my account because someone tried to access it from an international location. I didn't realize this until I tried to use it myself. I had to jump thru hoops to get it back...
BUT! At least they were protecting my account!
THE REAL PAYPAL EMAILS WILL INCLUDE YOUR REAL FULL NAME IN THE BEGINNING... they NEVER say "Dear Customer" or anything like that... and they will NOT link to http addresses that don't belong to paypal.com! Scammers will include "paypal.com", but as a directory of the web address, not the domain name... gotta pay attention!
...and I hope all the Nigerian and PayPal scammers BURN IN HELL!
