Important! Scam concerning a PayPal account if you have or have had one

Just received an email from (proportedly) PayPal's Security website. Wants you to click on a link called tinyurl........ wants you to update your paypal info.

DON'T !!! Don't reply or click.

Do this instead: Forward the email to paypals 'report phishing' email of spoof@paypal.com (I went to the paypal site and looked it up so I could send mine).

You probably do not even need an active account. Had gotten a similar email from these frauds a while ago.

Then on my gmail site I have the opinion to 'Report Spam' which simply forwards that crap site to report to gmail. Your email system may have something similar.

Repeat: Do not open that fraud site! Delete after reporting their crap.

You may want to send a notice of this to friends and family that you know have or have had a paypal account.
