**ALERT**/bogus paypal

[The Snowman]

The following notice came to my pop account..(I don't use e mail)

***Please confirm your e mail address and credit card info**


full headers reveal this came from:

( h??p://paypal.com @ amasingboost.***.com)
*********
the total address omitted to avoid any possible problems.

basically..if responded to..giving the requested info....then you would be giving your credit number to someone......so be on alert to this such scam.

As a fairly large company, PayPal are regularly targetted by various scams... just always make sure the host you're going to is *.paypal.com and you can't go wrong
