possible paypal flimflam
I got an email saying diamond paypal or similar. I opened it and it said I had ordered $421 worth of bridal set and had a shipping address of california somewhere with a strange woman's name.
So it said if i wanted to dispute it to click on a place highlighted in blue, so I clicked that and it asked for my master card number and soc sec number. I said "Whoooaahhhhhh there". So I exited then went to paypal and signed in and did not find the transaction listed there. I went back to my email and erased it. Is that good enough or should I erase it from my dead email file too? Tom W

should be fine deleating it, nice catch. Paypal wants you to forward all scam emails to them, I guess they're growing teeth on that issue (or pretending to...)

I never open any link in any email from paypal or ebay. When I get something with a link, I delete, the go to paypal or ebay to see if it was real.

When it is suspect, I usually use the userid of "F**K" and password is "YOU" and somehow, I get thru to the site. It must be magic
