I have just received an email from PayPal saying that my account will expire in 5 days unless I re-register. An obvious scam. Be careful if you receive this email - do not activate the attachment to the email.

That's why I just don't TRUST PayPal at times ! I am really better off with my 'SuPalPal' credit payment!

I have been receiving these for about 2 weeks now, in total probably about 40 times. Fortunately Norton antivirus has been picking it up for me and removing it.

I had an email last week telling me that my paypal payment never went thru,i only read the info from a sms alert on my phone but i did'nt bother to make sure the money was in the bank,i just left it. Then 2 days later i had another email telling me the payment went thru! I had'nt put any cash in to cover it either. Is this dodgy or just an error with paypal? PS,i still hav'nt read these emails from my PC.
