I got a email from PayPal today stating that I need to confirm my account. Otherwise, my account would be suspended. It gave me line stating that "Click here" to update your account information. But, the link is not clickable. I suspect, this could be a spam email. If anyone got similar email, kindly share their experience here.
obviously a spam . it will never ask for updating account by clicking ... I got the same for Liberty Reserve .. Bloody Hoax !
Just stay away from clicking any link in such emails. Always prefer to login to your financial sites accounts by opening new browser window yourself and type url yourself. DON.
I also got one from Adwords. But gmail is smart enough to track them and put them in the category of SPAM. Also it was written that it might not be from the real sender or something like that. - Mr.President -
