Someone has try to get to my account with Amazon.com!!

It is indeed a scam I have gotten several and I just reply politely and say you can't close something I don't have and paypal I sjust forwrd the whole email to them I have called and talked to them and paypal is really secure someone hit one keystroke to close to my password and paypal froze my account until I changed it and everything.Changing your passwoord will not interfere with payouts it only helps to keep people from getting into your account.people use what they call key loggers to trace every key you hit that way they can get your information but if you run adaware and a virus protection that can't get to you.Good luck and hope this helps some

Whatever you do Marcie, never click on a link in an email. Don't log into any accounts thru an email neither. If you need to check on something always go to the site on your own and then log in. Contact paypal and send them a copy of the email, they will look into it and then get back to you. If you don't have an account with Bank of America don't worry about that email, just ignore it. Also never give out personel info thru an email neither. We all have to be extra careful. Good luck I hope you get it figured out.

Wow; thats not good. I always wonder how they get into your accounts like that, and how they figure out passwords.
but that's what "hackers" do and some are very very good at what they do

This is all a SCAM, I get these all the time from Banks I have never associated with and the same thing with Paypal, it is an party that is trying to obtain your personal information in order to do these horrible things to you, by all means don't touch the link to them, this identifies the party that you are willing to change this information and you will only be bombarded with more emails of this type. The best thing to do is YES, change your password with Paypal, don't worry about the password it is for you consumption, no one else and it won't have any to do with your money that is currently residing there. I would check your bank account and if all is fine I would be assured that it was. I have been getting these for so long, but just figured I did cause I am an eBay seller and get alot more exposure to the online world than most.~ Take Care~

I have been the potential victim of some scams myself. Remember never to click on an email, check the browser address it must start with https:// the (s) is for secure site, forward the email to PayPal spoof they are very good in following up and letting you whether if it is fake or not. I just changed my papal password last week as my bank debit/credit card had been charged with items in Germany and It all came from my Ebay account.
What really scares me is hacker who use a "keylogger" system that can check every keystroke you make on your computer. Make sure your spy shield has the keylogger shield ON.
The biggest indication of a fake is being asking to click on anything in an email for verification...Always check with the company as they never ask you to update info in email.

I have received those emails as well. I reported it to paypal and they are not real. These emails always have a website link included in the body of the email that supposedly directs you to the paypal website so you can log in with your username and password. Even though the website looks identical to the paypal log in screen it is not real/valid. The person who sent you the email is just trying to steal your username and password. If you get one of these messages never click on the link, just open up a new browser menu and type in https://www.paypal.com. This will bring you to the legitimate website. Paypal is a secured website meaning your information is safe and there will be a security lock at the bottom of your screen. Anytime that a website starts with https:// that means that your information is protected. You can review your account information from there and you will see that there have been no delinquent charges made to your account.

my advise. don't use same password for all your account. change the password often. don't accept to download any software that u don't know their background.

I am so glad I saw this today! I received 3 emails over the weekend saying a third party tried to access my paypal account and I have to identify myself with all my info again so it gets "unfroze". Now I have to wonder if this is a scam. I clicked the link that took me to what appeared to be the paypal site, but now I wonder. I didn't take care of it this morning, so I think I will forward the email to Paypal just to be on the safe side. Thanks marcia!

Good for you that you caught them.There are so many of the scam artists out there so if you can put even one out it will be better for all.One thing when you get an email open a new window and type the paypal,amazon etc directly into your address bar.Go to them sign in and check your accout.I get emails all the time but my account shows that they was no activity.When you get them make sure you click spam rather then delete .
Also before you get rid of the email if it's paypal forward it to spoof@paypal.com .within 24 hours they will tell you weather it is an email they sent or if it's bogus.
Also most of these sites have a place where you read about these freudulent emails.Red,Keep your eyes open and never click inside an email to go to the website because it will look like the website but will be a phish site where they steal your password,personal info.
Good Luck Hon

I am sorry that someone tried to get to your account and I hope it does not happen to me. We live in scary days with all the ID Theft going on and it is a shame. Thank you for warning us about this and hope they get your accounts taken care of. Take care and God Bless!
