My Dad got one of those the other day - and almost filled everything out if I wouldn't have been standing behind him.

Nice spotting. :wink:

If you ever receive an email from PayPal and you aren't sure its really paypal, forward it to [email protected]. They respond to you within 24 hours telling you whether it was really paypal, or spam. Its almost always spam.
