PayPal Email ID PP843

its a fake email, people set up a fake paypal site and when you put your details in it sends them to the person that set up the fake site. there are many of these going round aswell as ebay ones.

the way to check is when you get the email check the link by hovering you mouse over it and then at the bottom right of the window it shows the url if it looks dodgy then it it is.

to not get caught by this goto paypal website by typing it in to the web browser yourself and login that way.

hope this helps.
