Just got an email from [email protected], which was first off sent to the wrong address for my paypal account, but forwarded to the correct one. :main_rolleyes: For anyone that is not aware and just getting familar with PayPal here's a few hits to how PayPal works. First off when you get an offical email from them it is addressed your user acount name, not "Sir" or "Ma'am" or any crap like that, secondly, the beginning of the URL for any of their links should start with https <---- that S is very important!!!
Because I had just made a PayPal payment and freaked out over seeing this I did click on one of the links in the email wanting to make sure my account was not limited but my security system on my computer blocked me from opening the site. :main_thumbsup: Even though I'm very well aware of what to look for when contacted by PayPal I was even douped to not pay attention because of the seriousnss of the email.
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up!!!
