I have gotten this exact E-Mail three (3) times in a week (so far). IT IS A FRAUD…
I have contacted PayPal at their fraud prevention site and was informed IT IS NOT A VALID PAYPAL URL.
Copy of the E-Mail:
You have added laptopseller@yahoo.com as a new email address for your PayPal account.
If you did not authorize this change or if you need assistance with your account, please contact PayPal customer service at:https://www.paypal.com/row/wf/f=ap_email
Thank you for using PayPal!
The PayPal Team
Please do not reply to this e-mail. Mail sent to this address cannot be answered.
For assistance, log in to your PayPal account and choose the”Help” link in the header of any page.
—————————————————————-
PROTECT YOUR PASSWORD NEVER give your password to anyone and ONLY log in athttps://www. paypal. com/ Protect yourself against fraudulent websites by opening a new web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer or Netscape) and typingin the PayPal URL every time you log in to your account.
If you get this or any similar E-Mail, please DO NOT CLICK THE LINK. Contact PayPal, they Will Respond, probably the same day (they did for me).

There are quite a few of us that use PayPal to get paid by our affiliate and advertising programs. Some use the service to process payments from customers.
Now, PayPal is accepting Text Message payments from cell phones for companies such as MTV, the NBA, and Fox’s Home Entertainment.
“With the overwhelming popularity of mobile phones, the time has never been better for the merging of e-commerce and wireless devices” said PayPal President Jeff Jordan.
Users in the United States and Canada can instantly send money by sending text messages using the PayPal mobile service. Customers will have to log into a participating Website (Blog) to register their Cell Phone number and receive an ID # for individual orders.
When PayPal receives the order, the customer is called on the corresponding cell phone for confirmation. Once confirmed, the payment is processed to the seller.
I am not sure if this option is open to everyone yet, but when you sign into your PayPal account, the promotion is all over the place. So, if you are interested, log into your PayPal account to get additional information.
