First I think this site is the one that is giving out our information to the
workd. I started getting all kinds of junk after listing my e-mail on this
site. also the following is what you do when you get junk like this from a
Fraudulent website. The following is from PayPals site.
Protect Yourself from Fraudulent Emails and Websites
At PayPal, protecting your account's security is our top priority. Recently,
PayPal members have reported suspicious-looking emails and fake websites.
These emails are not from PayPal and responding to them may put your account
at risk. Please protect your PayPal account by paying close attention to the
emails you receive and the websites you visit.
Please use the following tips to stay safe with PayPal:
Safe Log In: To log in to your PayPal account or access the PayPal website,
open a new web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape) and type in the
following:
https://www.paypal.com/
Greeting: Emails from PayPal will address you by your first and last name or
the business name associated with your PayPal account. Fraudulent emails
often include the salutation "Dear PayPal User" or "Dear PayPal Member".
Email Attachments: PayPal emails will never ask you to download an
attachment or a software program. Attachments contained in fraudulent emails
often contain viruses that may harm your computer or compromise your PayPal
account.
Request for Personal Information: If we require information from you, we
will notify you in an email and request that you enter the information only
after you have safely and securely logged in to your PayPal account.
Often, fraudulent emails will request details such as your full name,
account password, credit card number, bank account, PIN number, Social
Security Number, or mother's maiden name.
If you think that you have received a fraudulent email (or fake website),
please forward the email (or URL address) to spoof@xxxxxxxxxx and then
delete the email from your mailbox. Never click any links or attachments in
a suspicious email.
To learn more about protecting your PayPal account, please review our
Security Tips.
