Anybody else had this ?

Apologies if allready posted elsewhere ............

From an e mail I have received ....

Our Legal Agreements are changing.
We’re making some changes to our Legal Agreements; the documents that govern our relationship with you, so that we can continue to make PayPal even more secure, quick and easy to use. We’ve put details of the changes on our Policy Update page – you can also find the page at www.paypal.co.uk, by clicking ‘Legal’ at the bottom of the page and then selecting ‘Policy Updates’.

What do I have to do?

Take a look at our Policy Update page to check you’re happy with the changes. If you are, you don’t need to do anything as these changes will automatically apply to you. If you don’t want to accept the changes you can follow the steps we’ve set out on our Policy Update page.

See the Policy Updates etc

How do I know this is not a Spoof email?

Spoof or ‘phishing’ emails tend to have generic greetings such as "Dear PayPal member". Emails from PayPal will always contain your full name.

mine does contain my name so is it legit ?

Don't follow the link... just go to PayPal.com and look at the T&Cs.

I have had so many emails from PP lately saying something similar. "Just download this file; just click this link; we need to verify your details; your account is only partially working, blah, blah, blah."
Oh yeah.

I gave up using PP about 5 years ago and closed my account, and I still get these types of spam emails on a regular basis.

Just forward any suspicious emails to spoof@paypal.co.uk & let them do the research, they keep you posted & let you know the outcome.
