Thanks Larry Get these all the time.

Thanks Larry, I don't ever answer any emails regarding payment prossesors, I don't even bookmark the ones I use most. If I see one of these messages and think there might be a problem, I type the URL into my browser, login, and check the real site for any notifications. Never seen a problem yet, and have gotten hundreds of emails telling me there was! Don't they know its hard getting blood from a stone?

Hi Larry, I have gotten a lot of these. I just forward them to spoof@paypal.com Thank you for the alert. Your Good Friend Deborah

Hi Larry, I've gotten one from "Bank of America" the logo and the email looks quite official. It said something about a charge or whatever against my account. I knew I had a zero balance. So I called the bank and asked what it was about. They said: "We don't send out emails, anf that it was a "phishing" scam". The best thing to do if you are not sure is YOU intiate call to YOUR source to verify and delete the email. Regards, Herb
