I have been getting those emails for over a year! Every week, like clockwork.
Watch out for your Paypal Account
I'm posting this here since it seems the most appropriate place; hopefully the majority of Agon members and guests will see...
I just got an email that was placed in the "Junk" folder. Good thing. It was a bogus Paypal email. Attempted to get me to send personal information on my account.
I called paypal and they said:
1. They will always address you by name, never in general terms.
2. They never ask for personal info/passwords etc.
These emails may look pretty authentic but be forewarned!
I was told to send all suspicious emails to the junk folder where the attatchments are disabled and they cannot hurt your computer.
A lot of this was news to me - thankfully I was unharmed by it. Just sharing so we can enjoy our hobby without the scum of the world causing us grief!
Blessings,
