|
|
Just wanted to pass this along, I recieved a rather official looking paypal request wanting me to go to a website and confirm my account in formation. Just keep your eye out and remember no online service is going to contact you via online about account in formation. Personally I wouldn't use anyone's paypal on a particular webpage that is not paypal's who knows what they are recording. Be smart and take care all.

I'm glad you reported it, Jamming. I know it's extra work, but the benefits to the Internet community are great. I hope that anyone who receives something he/she suspects is fradulent does the same.
