I got an e-mail saying my paypal new e-mail is someone else(a diff. guys one) but whatever. People are trying to get your information by these e-mails saying.

Your e-mail for paypal has changed go here to get it back. It asks for the credit card you use paypal with and a whole lot more.

Do not fall for this! Paypal is finding these and shutting them down just wanted you guys to get the heads up.

It's common sense now to not give out info.
