Yet another batch of Pay Pal spoof e mails doing the rounds --- be vigilant

Before responding to these emails open the properties of the email itself. Click on the details tab and check the originator... if it is ****@paypal.com then that should verify it's authenticity.

Still be careful though!

Ebay ones to saying details need verifying.

General wisdom for any communication with banks/pay pal is to type in the url don't click on links in any email.

My personal pearl wisdom is treat an email tagged urgent as a security threat or spam -- but perhaps that because I have a bad case of Victor Meldrewism or as Forrest Gump put it poo happens.

Firefox has an add on to help detect spoofed web addresses -- it seems to work.
