    I get stuff like that almost daily from bogus ebay and paypal emails.

    never click on their link,

    go to Ebay or paypal your regular way and check your messages.

    I got an identical e-mail like this one last week. I reported it to Paypal and forwarded the e-mail to them for further spoof/fraud investigation.

    I got the exact same e-mail. My heart also skipped a beat. Checked all my accounts, and thank God... no activity. It is kind of bothersome that they had my correct name ect. Looked authentic at first. I forwarded mine to spoof@paypal

    That one looks pretty legit with the name and address in it. But, as said, never click on anything like that in an email. Go to PayPal and login manually to see what's up.

    i don't know if i know what i'm talking about but this is exactly why i am no longer verified with paypal. i have my account set up through credit card only. i don't want anything to do with a direct link to my personal banking accounts.
    if you can't laugh at yourself then laugh at someone else
