here is the content.....
PayPal is constantly working to ensure security by regularly screening the accounts in our system. We recently reviewed your account, and we need more information to help us provide you with secure service. Until we can collect this information, your access to sensitive account features will be limited. We would like to restore your access as soon as possible, and we apologize for the inconvenience. Why is my account access limited? Your account access has been limited for the following reason(s): # April 19, 2006: We have reason to believe that your account was accessed by a third party. Because protecting the security of your account is our primary concern, we have limited access to sensitive PayPal account features. We understand that this may be an inconvenience but please understand that this temporary limitation is for your protection. checked my account and there was no activity listed and have access to all areas of the account. forwarded the email to paypal and did not click on any of the links in the message. just a heads up. cheers. scott |

I get at least ten of those a day, PayPal, Ebay, Chase Bank, BofA, on and on. Removed from context they all look pretty legit, but when they're just one of ten others it's pretty obvious they're bogus. Lots of them have a "go to" link that impregnates your machine with spyware, or worse. Be careful, use protection.

And thost are ones that get past my various anti-spam measures -- which collect even more that I don't see! The mafia ain't what it used to be...now they're just pathetic. |
