for those of you who use paypal be carefull...i recently recieved an email saying that i purchased something from a motorcycle shop...heres the kicker i dnt own a motorcycle when i read the email i clicked on the link to sign onto paypal to find out the purchase want even there i called paypal and they said it was fraud and that they prob have my paypal info luckily i lost my wallet a week ago so i cancelled the card associated with paypal and they informed me to delete my entire account and make a new one...so a word to the wise becarefull while the internet is most certainly fun its also very dangerous!!

They really advised you to delete your account? I would think they would have told you to simply change your password.

That's why I make sure links are legit.

Don't use the links on any suspicious email. Just delete and go through my favorites to check out.:read:

Exactly.. This happens all the time with online activity, not just paypal. Don't ever use a link from email to log into anything. I get e-mails all the time with links sayings somethings wrong with an online bank account or paypal. its just people fishing for your information.
