Did not get it, but sounds like a scam like so many other "please confirm your info" emails. If it really is Paypal (and you actually have an account) my approach would be - let it go, and re-register or re-activate when necessary.

While I didn't get that particular one (at least not yet), I have gotten several similar ones. It is fake. Don't click on any link in this type of e-mail. You should always type in the URL directly in your browser.

Definitely a scam. Hovering your mouses' pointer over the link shows that it will take you to a site called com-bin.us
Paypal and/or eBay will ALWAYS address you using your full name, not an email address.

if you did put any info it to this link contact credit card co. or bank and have them cancel the card or account.

I get them all the time. I don't have paypal or ebay and I don't deal with US banks, so I know these are phishing. I also don't want a mortgage again, thankyouverymuch.
We have a phone scam locally where someone pretends to be from the water works department.

Hey, Jas, I have never had a paypal account and I recieved one saying I had to upgrade my info.

Some scam artists will try anything to get your info.

It is someone "phishing" for your personal info. Report it to ebay........ I did when I got one several months ago.

I've had 8 of these over the last 6mths, & i don't have a paypal account,
the lastest was from some other similar company, asking me to click here to collect a part payment of $1495AUD, did some checking with the latest Nortons professional, & found Trojan backdoor virus.

Haven't had this one yet, however got an invoice from eBay for fees for items supposedly sold, including 3 Ducati motorcycles. Contacted them and awaiting reply

Just got a reply back. the invoice was from last year when someone hacked my password and used my ID to sell 3 motorcycles.

I always get them myself, even from a bank saying I have to update my account. OK...Now if I only had an account with them.

I got similiar mails and tried to find a place at e-bay to report them but couldn't find one. If they aren't any more interested in policing their customers, I prefer not to be one. I've explained this to a couple people I'd bought from and they have all agreed to accept other means of payment. Until I hear otherwise, I will no longer use PayPal.

I got similiar mails and tried to find a place at e-bay to report them but couldn't find one.

Just 'forward' the email (not 'reply') to spoof@ ebay.com if it appears from eBay; or to spoof@ paypal.com if it appears from Paypal - don't forget to remove the space after the @ symbol.
