1246401 2011-11-30 18:19:00 No I don't think so. I just loged in to my account via my usual link and there is a policy change coming in on Dec 22. Yes I got the email.

1246402 2011-11-30 18:59:00 I've seen a big increase in fake PayPal emails over the last month or so.
Probably get two or three a day ATM.

1246403 2011-11-30 19:23:00 The '.sg' extention was sufficient to put me off clicking the link in the email that I had received.

I opened my PP home page directly and noticed that there had been an update.

Coincidence??

1246404 2011-11-30 19:34:00 .sg is Singapore. The policy notification if you login to Paypal is about Paypal Singapore.. paulw (1826)
1246405 2011-11-30 19:46:00 Even so I got it twice on 2 different E-mails and I've never used Pay Pal, so maybe there is a phishing message around at the same time as a genuine one.

The lesson is never click a link unless you have to, always go to the site directly yourself.

1246406 2011-11-30 20:40:00 This is almost as bad as saying that my WoW account was hacked. I have no WoW account and have never played it and dont intend to play it. Lots of these scam/spam emails are coming in..Paypal probably the worst. I dont think the sender knows that there are people out there smarter than them.

1246407 2011-11-30 21:21:00 That Pay Pal is not even sent to you by name.If you look its sent to 'Undisclosed recipient' Thats a good indication is phishing. Pancake (6359)
