I GOT THIS EMAIL FROM PAYPAL LAST WEEK AND WHILE I ACTUALLY HAD 3 REAL TRANSACTIONS DURING THE WEEK - IT LOOKED REAL SINCE THEY WERE CLAIMING THAT 3 ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO USE MY ACCOUNT IN OTHER COUNTRIES AS OUTLINED BELOW.
HOWEVER, I "FORWARDED" IT TO spoof@ebay.com AND THEIR ANSWER TO THIS QUESTIONABLE PAYPAL EMAIL IS IN MY 2ND POST.
HAVE A LOOK AND TELL ME THIS ONE DOESN'T READ LIKE THE REAL DEAL!! JUST REMEMBER...WHEN IN DOUBT - FORWARD IT TO EBAY - THEY WILL HELP YOU. THIS IS ONLY PART OF MY EMAIL....IT WAS ENCAPSULED IN A VERY OFFICIAL LOOKING PAYPAL EMAIL.
