AnnaLisa, great post - and definitely something to think about.

One way you can tell if an email is a fake is if there is ANY variation in the link provided when you mouse over it. Often times the link will be something completely unrelated to the Paypal URL. Other times the URL will be an odd mix with 'paypal.com' in there somewhere - remember that anyone can write an email and *make a link look valid*.

I get the Paypal fraud emails at least once a month - mousing over the links usually gives me the immediate info I need to drop them in the trash.
