[quote="fyi"][b] I received this email this morning from PayPal. This is what the email looks like on my iPad: <hr> [img]https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5798/21765212471_fe4ceb5096_c.jpg[/img] <hr> It looked so convincing that I almost clicked the red (highlighted) link to dispute the charge (because I did not buy the item). Puzzled, I tapped the "From: PayPal" to reveal the sender's email address (see below): <hr> [img]https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5658/21741823392_068a07913c_c.jpg[/img] <hr> I saw immediately that this is a fake email trying to steal my account, because the sener's email address is not from PayPal! [color=red]In short, don't trust the sener's name (in this case, PayPal, which can be faked). Always check sender's email address. [/color] [/b][/quote]
