I got an email that said it was from paypal and that my account was compromised.
I was told to click on a link and enter my name, credit card number, expiration
date and signature pin. I was using American Express and my signature pin was
four digits. Read on.
I telephoned Paypal and the representative was calm and said that paypal did not
send the email. She also said to forward the email to spoof@xxxxxxxxxxx I did
not submit the information since I was using a four digit pin. Could the
spoofer and phisher get any information if I did not press the Submit button?
The email and web site was all fake.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
