Been fighting lately emails that look like from my bank, paypal etc....and Some that look like a familiar name........Those Darn Scammers.....God is Watching what you Guys are Doing!!!!!

Me too received an email from PayPal, Armando. It says I had to confirm my personal data...but it was written in very bad German so I realized very soon that it was a fake. So beware guys!

That is called "phishing".

Bad crooks send fake emails (usually with some alarming made-up fact to attract attention)
and then they direct you to their fake web-site (which resembles the bank's) and
then ask you to enter (and reveal) both your login and password...

Genuine emails from banks usually include your full name and others personal unique stuff..

If in doubt, just delete.

If one falls into their trap do change the password ASAP, and make it more robust
(use a longer and more cryptic one involving lower/upper case characters, plus digits and them ugly symbols).
ALSO do call/notify the bank right away...

unless i know who sent the email, and know that it's personal email, most of all emails go into trash and get deleted. if i think there is some issue with my paypal account i just go straight to paypal instead of opening strange emails.

Generally if you "hover" over the link in the e-mail, it will shows the true link, and when it is different from the one they put in the e-mail, it is spam.

If it asks for any personal info, or passwords, etc, it is spam. Generally, Paypal, your ISP, Ebay, and others sites that have spam sent pretending to be from them, have ways to forward the e-mail to them, so that they can deal with them. Often they are abuse@... fraud@...or some such e-mail address.

Just some information, better scan your computer too. In case there is a virus or spyware, it happened to me once. They hack into my computer, so whatever I type or do, they know. Just a lesson learn for me. Thanks for the warning Armando.and guys....
