another paypal/ebay heads-up.

Dec 13, 2006 00:10

After reading various peoples' bad luck with ebay/paypal, I did actually go and change passwords (something I'd been meaning to do for a while), and then today I got an email, supposedly from Paypal, saying that because I'd recently made changes to my a/c, I needed to follow this link blah blah....

Now, because I had recently made changes to my a/c, I nearly went along with it, but instead I thought I'd nothing to lose by first forwarding it to spoof@paypal.com

And I'm glad I did, cos they emailed me back saying that the email in question *was* a spoof..

Spike.
