It’s been a while since I added a fake paypal email to this blog – so here is one.  If you point your mouse at the link (don’t click) and then look at the bottom left of your email client or browser, you will see that the link doesn’t point to the Paypal website.

NEVER click on a link in a PayPal email – even if you think it might be real. ALWAYS enter the address of the PayPal website directly into our browser. If there is any problem with your account you will find out what the problem is once you have logged into your account.
