I just wanted to give a heads up to other members. I got this e-mail today claiming to be a security notice from PayPal what caught my attention right away was the opening where it say "Dear valued customer" sent up red flags. It ask you to download and submit a form that asks for all your personal information including social security# , DOB and PayPal credit/debt card #. Called PayPal sure enough it is not from them and they asked me to forward the e-mail to them. I know most members here would know this was fishy but I wanted to let people know. I am not sure if this is isolated or widespread fraud attempts. If anyone needs the e-mail address where PayPal asked me to forward it to just PM me.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><STRONG>To </STRONG></P><DIV class="loz"><STRONG>&nbsp;</STRONG></DIV><DIV class="thread-info"><DIV class="icon file s-tp"><STRONG>&nbsp;</STRONG></DIV><STRONG>Today at 7:02 AM </STRONG></DIV><DIV class="thread-body"><DIV class="body undoreset"><DIV><P><STRONG><SPAN style="font-size: 11px;"><SPAN style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">Dear Valued Customer,<BR /><BR />Our security system has detected that you have changed your PayPal email address.</SPAN></SPAN></STRONG><BR /><STRONG><SPAN style="font-size: 11px;"><SPAN style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">However, we have reverted the email address back to its original settings.<BR /><BR />If you feel that an unauthorized person has changed your email, <SPAN style="color: #008000;">download the form<BR />attachment</SPAN> in this email and fill in your personal details in the form in order to keep<BR />your original email and to restore your PayPal account.<BR /><BR />Please do understand that this is a security measure intended to help protect you and<BR />your account.
