Hi mickmo

Genuine ppal emails:

Always address u as Dear full name

Never ask u to click on links/downloads/attachments

Never ask for personal info

Never ask u to click on links from private emails

Always log in  via official site never from your private emails

If u have clicked on the link change your password and security questions immediately

You can forward to spoof@paypal.com then delete

Yes, I get these messages. I've received two today. Usually, I'll get around one a day, maybe one every other day.

I've forwarded most of them to spoof@paypal.com and get maybe one answer out of ten emails. The instructions say to forward on every email, but I honestly don't think paypal can care. There's too many of them.

So anyway, you're not the only one, I get tons of them too.
