paypal fraud, WARNING! Options

[FallenHero]

Ok guys, I just got this e-mail from paypal... it's a recipt for $200 'sent' from me to someone, and at the bottom is this thing for disputing the transaction. So I was like... WTF? I sent no money...

So, I click on the thing, looks just like Paypal. I put in my e-mail and password and it comes up for me to list all my personal stuff... and I am like... wtf.. this doesn't feel right.

So, I went on another browser window and went to paypal... logged in, and guess what. I had not sent any money nor hand there been any such transaction. So, I changed my password immediately and closed the other window out.

This is a warning to all you guys. If you get such an e-mail, go to paypal and check things out first!

I got that too, and i thought the same exact thing until i realized.. i got the email on my school account, and my paypal is linked to my yahoo account... clever phishers!

If you ever get an email like that and think it might be real, you should always ALWAYS go to the site yourself, never follow a link.
