I have now received two emails from Paypal requesting me to click on links and verify my account details. Of course I am not going to do that. The first I ignored, the second I have sent to spoof@paypal.com, so will see what happens there. I logged into my Paypal account after each email and can find no such requests, unless I don't know where to look, but there is nothing under the message centre and I have looked around the account everywhere else and cannot find anything relating to this. I have had this account since 2007, never had a problem of any kind, buying and selling, have a verified account with credit card and bank account added. It seems like a phishing email, but looks very authentic, calling me by my full name. The latest email told me to either click on the links, or log into my Paypal account to verify there. A general web search shows mixed and disturbing results, like one Paypal rep saying it was legit. after the email was dubbed a scam by them, and another person who's details did not match when talking to Paypal by phone, so then requested to send drivers' licence etc. I am just wondering if anyone else is getting these emails. Your thoughts and advice would be appreciated.
