I received an email asking me to verify credit card info for PayPal. The website linked looked exactly like a PayPal page, but something struck me wrong. I have confirmed that it is NOT legit - another attempt at getting info. If you get anything like this, forward to [spoof@paypal.com](mailto:spoof@paypal.com)

Hope no one is fooled!
