I know theres a scam thread but since i have yet to recieve this email and the site has a pay pal account i feel this is important enough to have its own topic. There is an email going around which is an exact replica in which pay pal could send. It has the paypal logo and a variety of pay pal links which are legit. there is only 2 ways to know this is a scam. You realize the email is asking for pin #, account numbers, and information in which only the account holder has. But paypal still could be sending so you must check the source and view the link in which the "log in" button is for. It will say paypal within the link but it will say @etc showing you it is not paypal. So careful paypal members
