[pchelpers] Spoof and Phishing Paypal

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.
