Has anyone has other experiences like this with PayPal? And yes, I am cancelling my PayPal account as a result of this, which is a pity, for PayPal struck me as a really neat idea...
I regularly get phishing spam about my Paypal account, asking me to log on their bogus page.
Would you have contacted Paypal from that email or did you go from your favorites link?
