Dave, I get tons of email that looks like it’s from Paypal, asking me to update my account record, check that things are configured alright, or even to “notify” me that a new email address has been “added” to my account. Sheesh! How can I recognize real Paypal email and separate it out from all the phishing and fake messages in my inbox?
Dave, I was reading a message from Paypal on my new Gmail account and it had this big red warning on the top saying “Warning: This message may not be from whom it claims to be. Beware of following any links in it or of providing the sender with any personal information.” What does that mean and why am I seeing it?
Dave, I’ve been happily using Paypal as a merchant account and shopping system for years now, and would like to turn on a few of my colleagues to this fast and simple system. If possible, I’d like to get some sort of commission or referral bonus. Does Paypal offer such a thing?
Dave, I’m getting more and more confused. I keep getting warnings and alerts from Paypal, eBay, my bank, and various other banks and financial institutions that I don’t even have accounts with, all telling me to log in and verify my account information. I’ve read about something called “phishing” and am wondering if that’s what these messages actually are?
