Warning, this is the biggest FRAUD scam on the internet right now. 

DO NOT RESPOND TO IT!!!

If you get a very official looking message from PayPal (an on-line
payment service) that takes you to an equally official looking PayPal
webpage that asks you to enter your Credit Card information, DO NOT DO IT!

THIS IS A FRAUD!!!

You can NOT get to your genuine PayPal account settings without going
to the main PayPal page, logging on using you username and password
then proceeding to your Account Info page. 

There are several people running this scam right now, and I hate to
see it because PayPal is an excellent, and very safe way to send money
by email, or to use to purchase items on-line. 

My apologies to the group administrators and to the group for posting
something so seriously off-topic, but the email and the webpage it
directs you to look VERY official and it's very easy to be fool.
Please do not fall for this scam. 

Forward, all fraudulent emails to -
accessviolation at paypal.com
