Heads up, once again, there is another PayPal Scam going around that might look legitimate to some. In it, the email states you have added a new email address to your PayPal account and wants you to be aware of this. If you don’t believe it is right, it gives you a link to log in and check and protest.

The email reads:

And yet another email (this time, most likely Hicks93@Prodigy.net ?) claiming to be from paypal. This one was soliciting ‘inactive customers’ that will be removed in 3 months if you do not log in with you name and password. Once again, it is bogus. Even though it CLAIMS to be from service@paypal.com , it isn’t.
