LOL, bedstor, I've gotten those too, and I AM a Paypal user. My recommendation is when someone gets one of these, delete it, and dont even read it beyond the subject line. There is almost always a spelling mistake, or some other grammatical mistake in these emails. Thanks for the heads up to everyone!
