WARNING Pay Pal Scam

I agree with ED, I've used PayPal since it came out a few years ago, it's convienient and so far I've never had a problem with it, just don't open those darn 'phishing' attempts, learn to recognize them and report them. I also get them faking Ebay and banks and credit unions that I have never heard of. Even got one from an official looking site of the State of Utah about something. In other words, if you don't recognize the sender as legitimate don't open anything, and often even if you do get one that appears to be from a friend with an attachment, especially an 'exe' file, never open it. Delete it, better safe than sorry.
