FYI - there is a new PayPal scam going around.  The mail server it originates from is mail.okcrealtors.com.  I could have sworn there were some sweeps from them but I couldn't find anything when I did a search.  For some reason I can't get the search to work for me about 1/2 the time so I thought I'd post it here just to be safe. 


Remember:  PayPal and its representatives will never ask you to reveal your
password. There are no exceptions to this policy. If anyone claiming to
work for PayPal asks for your password under any circumstances, by email
or by phone, please refuse and immediately contact them via webform at
https://www.paypal.com/ewf/f=sa_pass.

Most of the email that claims to come from PayPal is not real.  Never click on any links.  Report any suspicious "Paypal" emails to spoof@paypal.com so they can investigate it.

Thanks for the heads up. I normally delete paypal emails and go directly to the site for any updates I need to know instead of reading those emails.

I always send the e-mails to Pay Pal so they can take care of the people who are sending them out.  A lot of people are fooled by their e-mails.
