I get similar ones from PayPal and eBay too. If you're unsure,
forward them to <spoof@paypal.com> or <spoof@ebay.com>; they will
reply to tell you if it's a scam. NEVER respond to these messages
with ANY creditcard, username or password. The link on the last
"PayPal" scam I got took me to a page WHICH HAD THE URL
<www.paypal.com/...> and which I'd have sworn was a genuine PayPal
page, but I know that PayPal/eBay never asks for details by e-mail.
PayPal told me that this WAS a scam. So beware genuine-looking URLs
and webpages!!
