Most of them are a scam.  But don't ignore all of them.

I received a notice from my Barclay account last month and it was for real.  My credit card number had been stolen.  I'm still dealing with that, even though I immediately closed the account.

Thanks for the info.

I have received the very same email several times throughout the years. Always  forward the email to:  spoof@paypal.com and you will be notified within minutes by paypal.  It has always been a scam.  Never, ever give out any information (even if it is information that paypal already has and they are asking you to confirm it for whatever reason they may give you).  Follow your gut / instincts if something seems off.  Better safe than sorry.

I received that today as well. I forwarded it to paypal. I stopped using paypal when they required my bank info and I don't share that with any online retailer. I only use my cc's because I am protected against fraudulent purchases and my checking acct cannit be drained.

Several years ago I rec'd the same SCAMMY email. Don't answer and don't check it out. Always remember --- companies NEVER ask for ur personal information.
