    Yeah, lol.

    And most importantly PayPal addressed you by your name in their email all the time. :)

    So ignoring it would be best, unless you want payback that is...

    Paypal never addressed you with 'Dear PayPal Member' :p They use your name instead of this ;)

    Hello!
    I have been receiving this kind of phishing mails regularly claiming that they are sent from paypal and ebay. The latest Internet Explorer has phishing filters and to some extent alerts you whenever you get this kind of mails. The lesson : Be alert always! The shark is on the prowl :)

    I've clicked on a link one of these fake mails and tried to login. It asked me my credit card number suddenly. I realized that is a fake website and logged in real paypal site and changed my password quickly.

    Be aware!

    Always check for your registered name in any email claiming to be from PayPal or ebay. Don't add any information to link provided in the email instead go directly to to PayPal & log in to your a/c to resolve any issue.

    I have also received a few emails in the past telling me paypal needs to "update my account" I clicked on the links before and some of the pages that pop up looks JUST LIKE the paypal site...back then I didn't even know if its was real or not...so I usually disregard the emails even if they are real as some maybe scams...I might wrong about this but, just make sure it saids https<---the "s" for secure in the link and it has a lock icon on the browser and that should insure its the real deal :)
