i have used paypal for many years now. never had an issue with anybody hacking it. if you get an email like that dont click it. paypal even has a page that says dont click them in fact send them to there soof department. if you lose your pw for paypal you have to call them and then you have to give all of your info to reset pw. if you ever have to call them they are so hard to prove it is you. paypal is safe.those emaols though if you open them and send them and etc then yea they can get you hacked. cause your info is on your system most people save it etc. its not just paypal they will get though they will get your bank, credit cards, egold, everything. if you do what paypal says though and dont click those emails and enter your pw on there fake page of that email then you are safe.
