Saw this posted in another group, and thought I'd share since I know lots of us deal with Paypal regularly...
"If you receive an email from Paypal saying that you made a payment to someone you don't recognize, do NOT open any links. It is a scam, verified by PayPal. The email has this verbage: "Please note that it may take a little while for this payment to appear in the Recent Activity list on your Account Overview" then directs you to open a link that says "View the details of this transaction online". The email also starts "Dear Paypal User".
Paypal has assured me the transactions show up immediately and that they NEVER start an email with Dear Paypal User (they always use your name). Other than that, the email looks completely legit. If you get one, forward it to [email protected], then DELETE!"

Thanks for the head's up!
I see they are back at it again. It seems like every 4 or 5 months these emails resurface. :huh:
