That's a very scary looking link :eek3:

Edit it and make it unclickable to avoid temptation

Just manually type in paypal.com into your browser. DO NOT follow the links in the mail. Check your settings and see if someone has added the address or not. If they have, delete it and the e-mail address, then change your password. Hurry before they start siphoning money out of your accounts!

Scammers are getting better and better.

One easy way to tell is to check the link with a mouse over (not click) and see where the real link is.
