I received a message from my Gmail:

The Pay Pal TeamPROTECT YOUR PASSWORD
NEVER give your password to anyone and ONLY log in at https://www.paypal.com/. Protect yourself against fraudulent websites by opening a new web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer or Netscape) and typing in the PayPal URL every time you log in to your account.
This is phishing. Google defines is the act of tricking someone into giving them confidential information or tricking them into doing something that they normally wouldn't do or shouldn't do. The purpose is to fool you into entering user names, passwords, Social Security numbers, and financial information. The scammers could steal your identify and the money from your bank.
Keep in mind to watch the link to make sure it's bogus - if the URL address link is different than PayPal domain name (For example, I received from PayPal asking this link: https://www.paypal.com/row/wf/f=ap_email <http://rrcs-24-242-158-134.sw.biz.rr.com:82/cmd/index.php>. The address inside the angle brackets (< > ) reveals that the source isn't PayPal at all. This is bogus email. Very sick.
If you do not understand at all, then you have a problem.
