    I have just received PayPal policy updates e-mail. They sent me a link and asking me to logging in to that account. And checking the policy updates on right top side of the page.

    Anyone else received this mail ? I feel like this is a scam. because PayPal never sends a link in side mail.

    Please let me know

    All emails from paypal will have your account name.
    It will not be email, or friend, or account holder, etc.

    But always, and I mean always, to be safe on any email you get from paypal or you think may be from paypal....
    Do not click on the links!

    Instead go to your browser and type in the url for paypal....

    Always better to be safe than screwed!

    Can you give details of those policy updates? I closed my account after they stopped allowing us to spend money online.

    if it includes your account name, its safe. however as an added security precautions, do not provide or type anything they ask for inside emails. always login to your account securely.
