I received this “Paypal” e-mail in my bibi @ ebusiness-insights.com inbox.

First, Paypal never asking for your account update.

Second, Paypal will address you by name and not “Dear Paypal member”.

Third, I never have a Paypal account with this email address!!!

Never follow a link to your online banking account. If you have click the above link in your email and provided your information, change your Paypal password as soon as you discover it!
