I know we address this every several of weeks...but there is a new virus out there related to those fake emails "from Paypal". They attempted me by saying my credit card on file was "expired". Steve says he never ever reads any email sent via paypal.., evidently this scam has copied Paypals web page to perfection. Steve gave me the advice as to never open Paypal mail...that as long as you transactions etc... happen what should I expect from them via email...

The best thing you can do is go directly to PayPal's site to change your credit card info.
