Beware Paypal scam?? Virus??
 
I just got 2 of this message supposedly from Paypal but from 2 different senders:

They both have files attached but I did not open them. I am guessing they are some type of virus???

This is one of the most common scams out there right now. Don't open it or respond to it, but set your email tracking options to their maximum level and forward the message to "[email protected]".

PayPal has my account all screwed up right now, but that's another story.....:hothead:
