[citw150] Lesson 3, Question 5

Alright, this is a crazy hoax, I know because it happened to somone I know =
real well and there going thorugh all of this.  So I warn all of you this i=
s true and beware of it.  If you use PayPal at all, It's a service on the W=
WW to let you buy things in a smae manner, It's very secure and I recommend=
 getting an account there.  But here is the whole thing.  To use ebay for e=
xample you must use PayPal.  Well some hoax email have been sent around say=
ing at the subject of the email, need additonal information for your paypal=
 account.  Well when you go into the email, it will say at the top, to the =
valued PayPal customer, that gives away the haox right there.  If PayPal is=
 to send you an email, it will have your full name addressing you, not valu=
ed PayPal customer.  Then it will send you to a haox webpage that appears l=
ike paypal pager, but look at the url, it will be changed slightly from the=
 origanl site.  When you put in the information, that allows the person tha=
t made the haox to have access to your credit card and information..  Letti=
ng them open up other credit card accounts so you get the charge and they c=
an buy things with your card online.  Now this has happened.  Beware, the p=
erson lost 5000 $ in cash and it is being investigated.  Also the person li=
ved in Romania.  It's crazy.  So just watch out for these things.  The pers=
on had to cancel everything opn her name and put a seize on it, so no would=
 could open up anything on there name.  Not even they could.  So all and al=
l... BEWARE!!!!  PAYPAL HOAX IS A LARGE PROBLEM!!!
