Hello "my name" accepts payments by phone, fax and mail. And a link for "find out more"

I don't have fax, and I don't accept phone payments.

Yes I did that, but I have never had a reply from Paypal when I have sent things to [email protected] I also changed my password right away just to be safe.

I always thought that when they used your full name it was safe, but I don't think that's true anymore.

You're right, Amber.

In the past, if your first and last name were at the top of the PayPal message, it was genuine.

This is NOT true anymore; I've received PayPal phishing e-mails with my full name, and phishing e-mails from other web sites that also used my full name. You can't be too careful these days.

Yes, I got it, deleted it. It was genuine, but of no interest to me.
