Hello Eileen, Thanks for posting this. I receive these emails every day. Another one I get on a regular basis is from eBay, saying that there is a problem with my account. Well... up to about 2 months ago, I didn't even have an eBay account. I wish I still had one of those emails, but I've deleted all of them - knowing that they were fraudulent. When I get another one, I will post it. Thanks again Eileen, Lisa :`)

Thanks for your reply Lisa. I haven't seen the ebay one yet, I will now, be on the lookout. It seems as if these go around in spurts, They do it then quite for a while then do it some more. That is why I posted, It could be a new link. Thanks again for the heads up on the ebay thing Lisa:)

Thanks Eileen and Lisa, For the heads up on this. I can't say that I,ve every gotten an email like that from either one. But I will keep an eye out for it. It's good to have friends who watch out for each other. Gratefully, Doris

Hey Eileen! Yes, I used to get those pretty often when I first started, but before I did anything, common sense told me that I should call to confirm, and I was right, those are definitely the scammers after the newbies who do not know. Besides, anything that has anything to do with paypal, I do not use. I do not trust those thieves. especially, after they settled out of court and tried to give back the money that they ripped people off of. The criminals got jailed, but not the masterminds behind it. Think, how could the ceo's and the other top notch people in Paypal, let that happen to them, and they still work there and own it, hmmmm!Of course, though, that is just my opinion about paypal. Thanks for the heads up Eileen! God Bless! Get your Kids sports career off the ground! http://allsportrating.com/lcj1 LES!!
