The PayPal Email Scam

Have you been receiving emails that ask you to login to your PayPal account to verify your payment, or to pay your invoice? I get them every once and awhile but I immediately delete them because I have NEVER had a PayPal account. But Kent Nittinger at Bummer Hosting sent me the notice below to publish in order to protect our readers and expose the scam:

Hi Victoria,

Have you read about how spammers are requesting information from people who own PayPal accounts? This goes along with what you and I were talking about the other day over the phone. Spammers do this with your bank, hosting, and all other computer services. That is why Bummer Hosting takes such a hard stance on protecting our customers from spam and viruses. It is for our clients’ protection. Please inform your readers.
