I apologize as I am quite sure this info shouldnt be on this section, but it seemed the fasted way to Alert everyone to
a new email scam. At least new to us.
It's typical to find a dozen spam emails from a fake Pay Pal, but this one lands in the Inbox, looks legit, and advised
that our account had been logged into in New York. I live in Florida. It only took a bit to log into this account and find
not a single alert, notification, message, or anything to indicate that to be true.
There is a 'this is not me' button. I did click it. now I'm kinda nervous. Changing pw and details. but letting ya'll know
the fastest way I could think of.

Yep that sort of scam has been around for ages. What you have to remember >>
If there was a problem with your account paypal would not ask you to click on an unsafe link in an email or by downloading an attachment, they would direct you to log in normally and go to the resolution or the message centre for more information.
