Default Can someone advise me please.....
Just had an email saying a Jack Dawson is paying in $42 into my paypal account and that I need to click to accept.

I know nothing about this.... is something dodgy going on here?

Don't click the link, go to the paypal site and check yourself, but I bet you'll find its a scam.

Cheers

DO NOT CLICK IT!

Open a new IE browser, open paypal.com and log in. If there is nothing about any payments from Jack Dawson then the email is a spoof! Delete it!

Scam!!! They get you to log in to paypal via their link and get your password to access your account.
