| 1205464 | 2011-05-28 22:48:00 | Yes, but nothing there relates to me. Why suspicious... the NZ element of the reply url for a Canadian purchase by a Canadian? Definitely not my account or my purchase. |

| 1205465 | 2011-05-28 22:59:00 | I got the same one at 2.30am this morning. Sent it to the Spam folder. I removed my linked credit card from Paypal. maybe someone has had access to their customer database? I don't use Paypal anymore. A debit card suffices now for online purchases Ken |

| 1205466 | 2011-05-28 23:27:00 | What are the actual unmasked links in the email? That eBay item number is for a "New Disney Tinkerbell & Fairies Twin Bed Tent W/Bonus", and check out the address on Googlemaps - maps.google.co.nz Ave+N,+Chesley,+ON+N0G+1L0,+Canada&gl=nz&ei=8nXhTbL7L4-isQPdtay_Bg&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CBcQ8gEwAA |

| 1205467 | 2011-05-29 00:56:00 | Got the same this morning .... never used Paypal. The link to Paypal nz does seem to be legit though ... but wasn't game enough to try it on my comp ... just in case !! | SP8's (9836) | ||
| 1205468 | 2011-05-29 00:56:00 | I received this email twice this morning (I am in NZ). A content search brought me here. The masked link... www.paypal.com/nz/help actually points to pool-71-164-130-174.dllstx.fios.verizon.net pyorxp4xDjvhNoCpUoV0JW4Vwl9WChkw48dispatch05885d80 a13c0d/index.html I haven't clicked it (and I would not advise it either) its just what comes up in my status bar when I mouse over it. |

I don't see that when I mouse over it. I clicked on it and it actually goes to www.paypal.com/nz/help as far as I can see and that is what shoes in the address bar. |
