Have had an email from paypal asking me to 'click here' and reset my password. Has anyone else had this, and is it genuine?
Thanks

No, delete it.
Probably not. Does it mention your name? If not it's almost certainly a spoof/phishing email.
Look at the headers and it was probably sent from Rumania or somewhere like that.
...think someone's trying to confuse people with this, given that you were advised to reset your eBay password recently....
Golden rule.

Never reset any password from an e-mail link.
Log onto your paypal account and see if there is a message about this on there. And while you're on there you might as well change your password a sit's good practice to do so from time to time.
If you hover ove rthe link it will throw up an address which make sit clear it's not really paypal- although I get quite a few that show PAYAL.CO.UK
We get the same here in the U.S. Hint, take a close look at the e-mail sender and it's likely to be paypall or some such... never open it, much less answer...

Thanks all. I wasn't going to open it from the email, but just wondered if anyone else had one.
By the way Clanad, have got the New England trip all sorted for October.
Good for you, puzzeled... you'll certainly enjoy it... we've been several times and there's always a small cafe or diner in a village that's a treat, if not for the good food then certainly to listen to the locals talk... strange accents to this westerner's ear...

October is a great choice... still good colors and most of the crowds of 'Peepers" are gone or at least noticeably thinned... Welcome to the U.S.!
There has been a issue world wide regards hackers into Ebay, they have contacted members regards security & their PASSWORDS ONLY.
