    I get around 3 a day, and that's been going on since 2 years ago, just ignore them. :)

    LOL, yeah I'm sure they're really trying to scam you...

    do you know how EASY it is to fake an email address?

    On top of this, do you really think that PayPal would
    a. risk everything they got (millions of dollars of revenue) for a stupid scam
    and b. do you think that they can't access your account?
    'cause the truth is they CAN access ANYONE's account, take their card details and what not.

    But they wont.

    Thanks for the heads up. But, there's so many phishing emails going, this thread won't stop much from happening. Judging from the log I've seen, not too many people have fallen victim to the email and I doubt that many more will.

    For your own safety it is advisable to login to your any financial related account either bank or payment processing like paypal,MB etc through new webpage and with https always. Never click any link provided by them in email just for your own security.

    DON.

    The best thing is to ignore such mails. Even if genuine you can check your account status by logging into paypal rather than rely on email confirmation. Also paypal has enlisted guides on how to identify phishing mail.

    It is good to see email providers equipped with technology to mark these mails as junk.
