Watch out for these. This is a common spam method to gain access to
your account (identity theft) by others. Even if the email looks
official and provides a paypal link watch where your browser actually
goes. Many times it isn't paypal at all. The ebay toolbar can be added
to IE. It now has a feature to verify you are at a valid ebay site . .
. including paypal. Citibank seems to be another favorite for spammers
trying to gain access to your account right now too.
