[Shotimes] OT Paypal Scam??

[Ron Childs]

I, too have received a couple of these emails. I did report to PayPal and got no response from them whatsoever.

I know this is very OT, but I also know that a lot of people on the list
use PayPal. Ive received 3 emails in the past 2 weeks supposedly from
PayPal telling me that Ive been inactive and they are trying to make
sure that my account doesnt get cancelled because of it. The email
looks just like other PayPal emails with the entire thing being HTML
with the PayPal letter head and the small print at the bottom with links
that go to the PayPal webpages. The fields in the email ask for email
address and password, mailing address, credit card number, exp. Date,
and ATM PIN. It even says at the bottom that the email will be sent
using 128-bit encryption. Ive receive 2 of the same emails and one
that was slightly different, it didnt ask for the ATM PIN. I also have
2 email accounts listed with paypal, but Ive only been receiving these
emails with one of them, which was one of the ways I first figured it
was a scam. If anyone gets these emails, report them to PayPal. Does
anyone know of any official websites where a complaint or something of
the like can be filed? Im sure there are going to be a lot of people
that fall for this scam.
