I agree with Pavan Kumar, Paypal ALWAYS addresses you in your registered account name.

Thanks for the heads up on the scams.

Thanks for the useful article. I had written a couple of articles on the same topic but this just goes out to show that the scammers are getting more and more crafty. The tips you have outlined applies to variety of instances in email as more and more of our financial/security info is tied to our email account.

I’ve never had a problem using PayPal and I use it quite a bit, especially with ebay auctions – if you’re smart about websurfing, or at least have some kind of internet security program that catches phishing website, you should be able to use no problem. Just like the post says, type in the link yourself, can never (usually) go wrong there

Thanks very much for the scam alert. I always get email once in a while advising me that if I do not update my account with my personal info, my account will be suspended. I never answer.

Another good tip is always to make sure your full name is included in the email. Paypal always addresses you by your full name, so if you don’t it, then you know it’s a scam.
