the e-mail that came was so perfect it looked just like paypal and thank goodness elise had the wits to stop(i wasn't going to it looked legit )
just a warning to fellow iis'ers..
Peter, paypal never send emails for you to update your account. If your account has been comprimised you may get a restricted access email but if that happens always go to the paypal site and logon to your account and you will soon see whats what. Never answer emails about this. I get them all the time and have set outlook to automatically put them in the trash.
