    Also I think paypal always sends you personalized emails addressing you by your name.

    Like.. Dear Mr. Smith..

    Never like.. Dear valued PayPal customer..

    If you get an email and it's not personal, it could be fake.

    I also got the same email a while back. I also got a call from PayPal saying that my PayPal was under watch due to suspicious activity. Someone found out my password and used it. After the long phone conversation, I got all my money back and password changed. It was a little scary at first knowing that someone used my account.

    Oh, and the e-mail was from [email protected].... With two "l"'s.

    there was a scam going around recently with people using PayPal as the lure. Atleast Call PayPal and ask them if they were needing info from you.

    They said "Hi Andrew Hoyler,", so I thought same as you, it was legit. I didnt notice the misspelled address until after when I thought it looked suspicious.

    I never keep much money in my Paypal, and it isnt linked to my bank account. So, I should be good (hopefully). Thanks everyone.

    They have tried this twice with me in the past year and I've been on to them. I hope you make out without any problems.
