Re: [atlarge-discuss] Pay Pal - More updated scam/fraud info Was:Re: [atlarge-discuss] Membership fees

The Inquirer article that James Khan posted a link to is not evidence of 
any Paypal misdealings.  Individuals NOT affiliated with Paypal are 
trying to defraud people with Paypal accounts out of money by sending 
them an email that resembles a Paypal email which asks them to enter 
credit card information.  But, all Paypal users who've read the repeated 
warnings from paypal are well aware that Paypal does not send out emails 
requesting your credit card info.  If somebody gets scammed by this 
ploy, it's not Paypal who is behind it.  Cut the FUD.  Why don't you do 
like Hugh challenged and put your "money" where your mouth is, open a 
verified paypal account without a credit card!  That's one trick I'd 
like to see.
