Never click a link inside an email for paypal. Just open a new window and type in the URL https://paypal.com

Then log in to confirm said emails validity. If there is a problem with your account they will let you know when you try to log in from their secured URL. Links are to easy to spoof in emails(especially when you have your settings for HTML email), so they can NEVER be trusted. Always type in the URL of sites like Ebay and paypal in a new window to log in to them.

Back when you first signed up with paypal you shoudl have received a paypal message that said they will NEVER, EVER EVER ask for anyyyyyyyy more information about you. If you receive anythng like it, it's fake. So.....

It's real. I signed in with my username & password and it worked. However they kept saying my credit card number was invalid??!? The number I put in was '4094IAINTSTUPID'.

Very fake. spotted as soon as i clicked the link, but ****, it looks really good.

Paypal URL as said about is ALWAYS http://HTTPS://www.paypal.com

the S at the end of HTTP stands for secure. It lets you know that you are on a secure site.
