LOL i know thats funny. i got a message from paypal saying they received a message from me saying my credit card was stolen! In fact i have not attached a credit card to my paypal account yet. so i sent a message to them and they think it was a fradulent mail but then it came from them. What a mess i hope they dont suspend my account:(

Awww Ano. I haven't encountered a situation like this yet. It is for this reason that I refused to have too many online accounts. Make sure to correspond with the staff at paypal only. I hope this matter would be ironed out right away.

That actually is a fraudulent e-mail and t wasn't from Paypal. It's called phishing and people will send you an very official looking e-mail which looks like it comes from Paypal, Ebay or some other type place and what they are actually doing is trying to get that info from you for purposes of identity theft etc. If you receive an e-meil like that the best thing to do is go directly to the site and check and see if they actually sent the email.
