I just received this email:

Dear Paypal user,

We had a recent system error, in order to see if you were effected please go <a href="http://paypal.9ug.com">here</a> and see if you were effected.

Thank you for your time

Paypalrep910

https://secure.paypal.com/refer/[email protected]

----------------------

The page that it directs you to is very similar to the paypal homepage.


Obviously, this is a scam. Beware!

I find this interesting in the fact, HOW do they know you are PayPal....?????
Are you using it on all auction sites.
With Yahoo having the no e mail address unless you give it in your blurb, now do they find this info...

I do have the Paypal linkin in my auctions.

The email that it was sent to is that email that I use for my Paypal referral link, so I suspect they search for the Paypal referral code the extract the email address....

I use the PayPal link in ALL of my auctions and I've never received such a message.

I LOVE PAYPAL!
