Yes, several times. Don't open it.

there are lots of iffy purported Paypal emails out there. I'd say ignore them all!

never ever click on a link in one of their emails.

It's spam, I get these quite regularly. Forward it to [email protected], then delete.

I've had one today 'from' the Halifax saying that HMRC wants to deposit some cash in my (non)existent account, curious to know what the link actually says but I am obviously not going to open it.

[boxtops]

that one goes to [email protected], sherrard.

[sherrardk]

Hi Boxtops - sorry for being dim, do you mean that I should forward it to that address? (I am amazingly thick at times.)

[boxtops]

Yes, just hit forward and send to that address, then delete the one they sent to you.

I did get an e-mail from paypal saying that another person had activated another e-mail address to my account. It didnt bother me because on the same day I received an e-mail telling me that my long lost uncle had left me $40 million in a Nigerian bank account, so i win anyway.
