    Any personal email from PayPal specifically addressed to you will
    address you by your name, not by your email address. If in any doubt
    at all, forward the email to spoof AT paypal.com or spoof AT paypal.co.uk
    for those of us in the UK (there are similar addresses for other
    countries I think). Do NOT ever click on the link unless PayPal reply
    that it is OK. They usually reply to me on the same day. 

    Exercise the same caution with messages from EBay (spoof AT ebay.com or
    spoof AT ebay.co.uk). 

    I recently received an email purporting to be from EBay supposedly
    highlighting a particular item as a special promotion. I was
    dubious, so rather than click on the link in the email, I noted the
    item number and looked it up directly on EBay. I was curious to find
    out if this was a new EBay promotional tool or a scam. The auction in
    question had actually ended some 2 months previously, and the item
    had in fact been sold. I'm sure a lot of people were caught by that
    one.
