Just got this in my email today and got to thinking what the hell this doesn't look right. I have no paypal account and I know because I went to the site and checked (typed in paypal.com). So this email looks like a scam to me, because a few weeks ago a friend got one just like it and on the same day got one from the actual paypal site. People who can't seem to earn their money the honest way piss me off. Trying to get peoples credit card numbers and whatnot, :upyours: .

Yea this is a scam, my mom got the same kind of thing from "ebay security services" when in reality she has no ebay account, so they try to trick you into giving up what else, your credit card number(s), and screw you. Malicious people like this need to be shot, and or arrested, either or works.

yeah... notice the "w(-w-)w" in https://w(-w-)w.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run
... they were trying to be tricky but failed.
Sometimes I get things like that.. and I'm like.. wtf.. I don't even have a paypal account.

I did that myself because I was unsure if I should post a link this. But yeah there were a lot of signs in it that told me it was a scam. First of which is having no paypal account.
