i dont know where to post this, but did anyone receive an email from paypal because they havent logged onto their account for awhile? it's been months since i login to paypal, i received this email from them where they said that i have to reply within 72 hours otherwise my account is consider fraudulent. which will cause it to be suspended.

Careful, it might be a fake email, they want to know your passwords. I got one simliar couple days ago, but that email isnt the one I used for my Paypal.

Ya, phishing site.

Paypal will use your real name when they email you. AND they don't care if you haven't longed on to Paypal in a long time.

Fake mail. Don't follow any of the links in it. I would just delete it.

basically, paypal will NEVER ask you for your password in an email. if they do, report it.

well, at least i'm not the "stupid aZZ" that gave my paypal info
sucks for her, she's probably living in a **** hole telling herself why she did that.
what she probably should have done, was to login in a forum (maybe g35driver.com) and ask the same question i asked everyone to save her ***.
