Beware of scam Paypal email

[mojjax]

I got this email this morning -

Dear PayPal Customer,

[FONT=arial, sans-serif]It is a scam - paypal always uses your real name instead of "dear paypal customer"[/FONT]

Never open attachments for stuff like this anyway, period!

Go only to the source - your account.

you used to be able to forward emails like this to spoof@paypal.com and they would verify if it was real or not. however i sent one the other day to this address and it came back undeliverable.

Really? I wonder why. Did you double check the spelling?

Don't never download nothing - especially from an email, unless you are REAL SURE you know who it's from.
Even then, a friend can get a bug,virus, or hijacked by someone else. ABC = Always Be Careful.
I don't think I got that scam email. I usually don't look at them, if it's important enough, it will be on my account, when I log in.

Yeah, double check that paypal spoof address........
