[P1] OT: fake paypal email warning

[Pat D. Stephens]

This scares me...I got something last week that told me to go to a site 
to check my paypal account and since I hadn't done anything with it in 
the last half year, I deleted it without checking.  Wonder what's going 
on?  I thought that very strange...
