As i know alot of our members have paypal accounts i thought i should mention this
Yesterday i received a email from Paypal asking me to verify my account. Eg (add a credit Card number) which i was not sure about so i contacted them and it turned to be a phishing email so watch out everyone. This is the email. Unauthorized access to your PayPal account!
We recently noticed more attempts to log in to your PayPal account from a foreign IP address. If you accessed your account while traveling, the unusual log in attempts may have been initiated by you. However, if you are the rightfull holder of the account, please visit Paypal as soon as possible to verify your identity:
Click here to verify your account You can also verify your account by logging into your PayPal account at --------------------- If you choose to ignore our request, you leave us no choise but to temporaly suspend your account.
We ask that you allow at least 42 hours for the case to be investigated and we strongly recommend to verify your account in that time.
Thank you for using PayPal! The PayPal Team The email i received from the real Paypal was this
Dear Belinda Hutchison, Thanks for taking an active role by reporting suspicious-looking emails.The email you forwarded to us is a phishing email, and our security team is working to disable it.
Paypals emails always address the email to you first and last names.

Many thanks for the warning, Belinda. I usually don't pay attention to this kind of emails telling me to change my credit/bank/paypal account. We never know Stephany
