YOU SHOULD IGNORE ALL emails allegedly from Paypal, even if these
include your name.
A Paypal URL... which a Money Saving Tips.com can not reveal is being used
by scam artists to uncover the name of Paypal users.
Adding a Paypal members's email address to the end of this particular Paypal URL brings
up a box with that member's full name. These scamsters do not even need to log into Paypal
to access the URL.
According, these scam artists are then emailing Paypal users pretending
to be Paypal and using these members first names to add authenticity.
Potentially, duped
members may reveal financial or personal details.
The URL may be fixed soon. But be on your best guard.
