Danz2011...the big and confusing problem with that is I also forwarded my email to spoof@paypal.com and they sent me a reply saying the email was, in fact, from Paypal. It just goes to show how out-of-touch Paypal is with this entire situation. I never clicked on the link in the original email (and don't plan to) but this whole fiasco is inexcusable on the part of Paypal.   Below is the body of the email Paypal sent:   Dear MGM, Thank you for bringing this email to our attention. We can confirm that PayPal sent this email. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused. To keep members informed of our products and services, PayPal occasionally sends emails to account holders. General Notification emails and Payment Notification emails are activated by default. Therefore, a PayPal user will need to set their Preferences to 'not' receive these emails if they so choose. Please check your Account Profile to ensure that your email notification preferences are currently set to your desired specifications. You can choose whether or not to receive these Notification emails by following these steps: 1. Log into your account at https://www.paypal.com/ by entering your email address and password in the Member Log In box 2. Click on "Profile" 3. Select "Notifications" under the Account Information tab 4. Select which Notifications you would like to receive 5. Click Save Sincerely, The PayPal Team This email is sent to you by the contracting entity to your User Agreement, either PayPal Inc, PayPal Pte. Ltd or PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. & Cie, S.C.A. Société en Commandite par Actions, Registered Office: 5th Floor 22-24 Boulevard Royal L-2449, Luxembourg RCS Luxembourg B 118 349. ... View more
