Guest M12 Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 if that is a scam it looks very legit to me. the address bar is https and theres a padlock in the toolbar with a correct certificate. i'd e-mail paypal back directly and forward the e-mail you got to see if it was them. i actually think this one is legit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
