BEWARE - someone is trying to defraud you.

Please be careful about "phishing" emails.  I frequently get official looking messages from PayPal, only they aren't really from PayPal.  These messages ask is that I click "on the address below" to let them know I am still an active PayPal member.  I learned from another person's mistake not to open these, but to forward them directly to the address www.spoof@paypal.com.  I'm afraid that these scamming methods are only going to increase during these tough financial times.
