ALERT: There's a paypal scam going around, looks like phishing. If any freepers have a paypal account, log in and see if anybody's charged anything to you that you didn't order.

More re: paypal spoof: The emails are NOT from Paypal and it has a window to open to provide your password to get a refund. But, since it's a bogus email to begin with, there's no refund to be had. Don't login from an email. Only login to paypal from the site. I know this sounds like common sense but the bad guys are even using Paypal's email address as their email address so it can't be blocked. How'd they do that?
