I THOUGHT I SHOULD SAY TO BE ON YOUR GUARD OVER A NEW SCAM, I RECEIVED AN EMAIL MARKED 'PAYPAL'. AND AS I HAD JUST PAID FOR AN ITEM THROUGH PAYPAL I OPENED IT TO READ. THE EMAIL SAID 'THANKS FOR PURCHASING AN ENCYCLOPEDIA FOR $199.00 ' IT WENT ON TO SAY, ' HOWEVER IF YOU WISH TO CANCEL THIS PURCHASE, PLEASE 'CLICK' ON THE LINK BELOW' ----AND OF COURSE ANYBODY WHO DOES 'CLICK' WILL BE CAUGHT IN THE SCAMMERS TRAP. DO NOT GO THERE ! ! NEEDLESS TO SAY I DID NOT'CLICK' BUT FORWARDED IT TO PAYPAL AT, [SPOOF@PAYPAL.COM] AND THEN DELIETED THE NASTY EMAIL. ANYONE WHO DOES 'CLICK' AS I AM SURE YOU WILL REALISE, IS IN DANGER OF FINANCIAL LOSS ! THESE SCAMMERS HAVE THE CHEEK TO GET YOUR PASSWORD , CHANGE IT ,[ SO YOU CANNOT GET ACCESS TO YOUR OWN FUNDS,] AND THEN REMOVE YOUR MONEY. PLEASE BEWARE !! A FEW MINUTES LATER PAYPAL CONFIRMED TO ME IT WAS A PHISHING EMAIL !
