Be VERYYYYYY careful when you get emails like that. I get emails like that all the time from "Paypal" and "eBay." There are three easy ways to check if it's for real.

1. They will NEVER ask you to type in personal info, i.e. pin, credit card, etc.

2. They will always use your full name in the email, not: Hello soandso@aol.com.

3. And the BIG way to check: If you scroll over the website they give you with your mouse (without clicking), the REAL website will show up. I'll give you an example: Scroll over the website that I placed below. I have named it "paypal.com," BUT it will really go to "yorkietalk." Go ahead and scroll over it and look at the bottom of the screen. Click on it if you don't believe me . That's how they get you. You click because you see the web address, but it takes you to something completely different.

www.paypal.com
