I just received an email from paypal stating that I sent a payment to someone for the payment of a $239 cell phone. I panicked because I did NOT buy a phone. At the bottom of the message it says "if you didn't authorize this payment, click here for a full refund" When you click on the tab it wants you to sign in with your paypal info, of course, so they can rip you off. The screen looks just like the paypal page. I knew something was wierd. So I went to the paypal site directly and checked my balance and it did not say that I made any such purchase.

I hope nobody falls for this!
