    Beware of thieves using PayPal name to fool you

    Hi, i got this email from [email protected]
    It was pretty strange because I don't use paypal...

    this is the text of this email:


    Dear valued PayPal member,

    It has come to our attention that your eBay Billing Information records are out of date. That requires you to update the Billing Information If you could please take 5-10 minutes out of your online experience and update your billing records, you will not run into any future problems with eBay's online service. However, failure to update your records will result in account termination. Please update your records in maximum 24 hours.
    Once you have updated your account records, your eBay session will not be interrupted and will continue as normal. Failure to update will result in cancellation of service, Terms of Service (TOS) violations or future billing problems.

    Please click here to update your billing records.

    Thank you for your time!
    Marry Kimmel,
    PayPal Billing Department team.

        does it really seem OK for you when you submit your personal billing data to thieves from Japan?
