No, it didn't have my name. But it's nice to have a refresher on the paypal protocol. I came pretty close to falling for this simply because I did log into my account from a different computer a day or two before I received the email.

I am still waiting for my share of a Nigerian friend's inheritance, however.

I was just trying to get a premium membership (I'm in London) but Paypal was the only payment option it gave me and i don't have a paypal account. Anyone know if there is any other way i can pay the fine folks at gigposters? or should i finally buckle and get an acct? internet money makes me nervous for some of the reasons above!

I got paypal originally just to sign up for Gigposters. Now I find it a very useful thing to have.

in 99 or 2000 when i signed up for paypal our sales went up 15%-25%. The paypal app for the iphone is pretty slick too.

paypal is easy and safe to use, as long as you educate yourself about how it works and don't fall for scams, same as with any other fake emails and sites.
