Ignore, just spam. Paypal will never send you emails like this.

Any email from a company giving a process that will eventually mean you putting in your security details to "verify" your account should be delete right away.

Scam. Delete and ignore.

PayPal always address you by your registered name.

If you have responded change your password NOW

Thanks and Yeah I kind of assumed that but just wanted to double check. Think I might send it onto PayPal themselves so they are aware....that is if they are interested !

If you receive this kind of e-mail, log-in to Paypal through the log-in page to verify the message.

ANY mail like this, then the above advice is spot on. ignore the email links, go stright to your login page login, and have a look around :)

This is just another phishing mail

I like this idea. Report before ignoring. Spams + Scams = annoying :mad:

Collectively, about 30 mins time wasted on this thread alone.
