Heads Up Troops- new scam alert.

[Old and Reliable]

Anything that I get for e-mail that doesn't ring true raises the old red flag (Maggie's Drawers for you Jarheads herein)-- Like a phony VA benefits letter, showing that I served in the Navy from 1968 to 1976- wrong. Now they send me a PayPal notice. I would sooner saw the barrels down on my side-by-side shotguns as to ever use a credit card on any internet website, let alone PayPal. This scam is like the phony bank scams where they ask you to verify your account number. Say what?? the bank already knows that-

My guess- if you respond, you open your computer to a virus- here's the jist-
http://www.paypal.com-- sounds ok, (whatindahell is a Hotel Tango Tango Papa prefix mean?))-- They have PayPal, but then Email. I am a computer "rookie" but my eyes see this and then I think- NO- it is e-mail, not Email. The first tip off, other than I do NOT have a PayPal account, is this miss-spelling and the lack of the dash between e and m. They list some phony but official looking numbers- my "account" is supposedly pp-259-187-991, they are with the FSA reg. No. 226056- This load of hoey is supposed to maybe make me think it is "official" and respond. Not a chance--:b igbye:
