Subject: RE: BS: PayPal: Payoffs vs. Pitfalls?
Paypal is great. I have found it very handy for internet buying and selling, and can recommend it without hesitation.

But watch for the scams that send you emails supposedly from Papal. They will try to get personal information from you, and rob you. If Papal sends you a message, they will address you by your actual name...the scammers will not. They'll say "Dear Papal Member..." or something like that. They usually pretend they need to update your membership records.

There are similar scams pretending to be Ebay as well. I have also gotten inquires lately about auction items I am NOT selling! Gotta be more scams, I would figure. I delete them.
