ID fraud...I was robbed by via paypal

[Jimbo]

Just to give everyone a heads up, the PayPal fraud scam is apparently still going on. I opened a claim they are investigating. Here's what happened. I logged in at work, I only use my pc at work, not at home. In email I had one from PayPal saying that there had been a transaction for a DVD-VHS recorder on my account and listing the name and address is was being sent to. I had not used my PayPal account since the last S-B raffle. In the email there was a link you could click incase you did not agree and wanted to get a refund. I clicked it and fortunately, my work network prevented me from accessing the url.
I opened the claim with PayPal and they confirmed it was not them and fotrunately I had not been able to respond to the fraudulent site or I might have divulged the personal or financial info that site was looking for.
Be alert to this stuff, if for no other reason that when you first see you've been scammed it just about gives you a heart attack.
