cards or other financial accounts. Many emails are just phishing, banking on many people use eBay, Paypal, Citi or Chase Credit Cards, etc.. You won't believe the many bogus emails I (and probably many here would concurr) got.
One way to tell is that bogus emails usually don't have your name (your real name not the email name).
Emails sent by Paypal usually have your name or your eBay account name, legit emails usually have some small piece of personal information but you still need to be careful.
Also, before you click on any link in your email or otherwise, look at the status bar (bottom of the IE window) for the address of the link if you use Internet Explorer.
If you don't have the status bar active, do so now by going to "View" and activate "Status Bar". The status bar should show the link address, if itn't Paypal, then don't go there. Instead, go to your Paypal account directly from your known good Favorite or Bookmark and check.
