Warning letter from Paypal...?
Or so it said....Looked very real, with my full name on it...Well, after reading it ,without opening, it still looked very real...case # and all.. I've read too many warnings about this, including on this board. They even wrote that this is my 2nd warning.
Went to my PP account, thru the PP link of course, not the letter link, and I see nothing unusual...If they close me down, THEN I'll know if it's real or not... (I have had no trouble on paypal) In the meantime, it's the right thing to just ignore these things....
I probably should phone them, but not yet..

Forward the email to [email protected] . They will email you back and tell you whether it is spam or the real thing. Chances are about 99.99999% it is a phishing email you can delete.
A lot of companies have a spoof email. The advantage of actually forwarding them the email is that they can examine the inner details and sometimes catch the senders, thus saving you and others more of the same.
