In Reply to: PayPal email....is this a phish? posted by Marc Bratton on November 28, 2005 at 09:39:04:
If they addressed it to Dear PayPal member/user/etc. rather than Dear Marc Bratton it is a phish. Legitimate e-mail from those companies will always address it to your name.Second, if they provide a link, it is a phish. PayPal, Ebay, etc. always tell you to open a separate window to access your account rather than clicking on a link.
Third, if they ask for credit card info it is definitely a phish. PayPal, eBay, etc. have ALWAYS stated they will NEVER ask for that info.
Fourth, if there is any question, you can forward the e-mail to spoof@paypal.com and they will e-mail you back as to whether it is legitimate.
Don't know how to close the account, but your best bet is to go directly to the PayPal site and ask. Incidentally, these phishes go to people who never had a PayPal account because they spam everybody. Closing your account won't prevent you from receiving them, it's just that you'll know for sure it's spam.
