Posted By: <b>David B</b><p>I get at least one of those a week. I got one today, but it was pretty amatuerish compared to most. I pretty much delete every email I get from "Paypal" now. You really can't trust any of them. It's best just to log in to Paypal once in while to check your account and see if there are any problems.

Posted By: <b>John S</b><p>According to the email that I received last week I had just purchased a $349 model airplane. A link was present in the email for disputes. Of course, once an individual clicks on the link it asks for personal information. When in doubt log onto PayPal and check your recent account activity.
