Shaved monkeys working overtime at PayPal



No, as usual you have completely missed the point. I am notifying you that
these email addresses are misusing Paypal to violate the law.

Do you not receive ANY training or do you simply never read anything sent to
you?

After review, we can confirm that the email you received was not sent by
PayPal. Any website which may be linked to this email is not authorized or

website. If you have already done so, you should immediately log into your
PayPal account and change your password, as well as your security questions
