I just wanted to let everyone know of another new virus going around, it has to do with Pay Pal.

Here is a link to Snopes verifying that it is in fact a threat!

I heard about that one, but I had not gotten it yet.

A good rule of thumb that I follow is if you get an email asking for information, any type of informaiton. Call the company first and verify that they really are the ones asking.

There are some pretty good fakes out there and it is worth the 5 or 10 minutes to check. It is better then having your information stolen.

Of course that is just my take on things.:)
