    Dear Quilting Friends, I'm a longtime PayPal user, and want each of you to have a safe experience using their service. Here is something for you:
    Take our Fight Phishing Challenge at
    https://www.paypal.com/fightphishing]https://www.paypal.com/fightphishing[/url] to learn 5 things you should know about phishing. You'll also see what we're doing to help fight fraud every day.

    By forwarding a suspicious-looking email to
    [email protected], you help keep yourself and others safe from identity theft. Thanks,
    The PayPal Team

    Thanks I did pass the test 100% but I have learned from friends and family what not to do. I did get my email hacked one time and since then I am extra careful

    This is good information to apply to ANY email you get that states it is from your bank, credit card company, home loan, etc. Be careful out there!
