I got one.
I've gotten these type of emails before which usually include a proxy URL that forwards a few times. I figured they would be sending a lot out and thought I'd give everyone a heads up.

Here's a copy of the email.
Pay Pal actually has an email addy dedicated to collecting info on these sorts of things.

PHISHING!!

That's the word.
Thanks - it was driving me.

Really? This is the first one in a few years that I've recieved.
But then again I've used it less than a half dozen times.

Everytime I get an email from them or ebay I automatically forward it to [email protected] or [email protected]. If its legit they get back to me, they look into them. I have never opened one yet...
