I never go to the link in an email. I always log on to the site directly from the www.siteiwanttologonto.com This way I know it's not a scam. Paypal sent me about five emails that my credit card was expired- it was. I ignored the emails for for some time until I figured it might be legit, then I logged directly on to paypal.com and updated my information. I never trust whatever is in the email.

Forward to spoof@paypal.com. They get after the website and make the scammers shut down and restart. They don't send you anymore after that.

Yup I forwarded it to spoof@paypal.com

Get them all the time, and I don’t have a paypal account.
