Tess,
I mouse over the email link too. You have to be on your guard though, as people become more fraud-savvy, the spammers will get cleverer with the tricks they use.
Oh I see. Yes I have my own domian, but only setup one email for now. Maybe I'll setup a few more. Never hurts to be too careful these days. Ya never know what can happen!
Thanks Tess!
The security key they offer is also a good thing to utilize, $5 and you can use it on ebay as well I believe. It's small enough to keep on a keychain so you can use it while away from your regular computer too.
I had no idea what the reference to a Paypal security key (for the keychain no less) meant so I had to look it up, and sure enough, voila!
From the Paypal site: "What is it? It’s a device that generates a temporary 6-digit security code every 30 seconds. Use it every time you log in for added security."
Very interesting! Thanks for bringing that up!
