I just assume all those emails are fakes weather I have an account or not
and so far, that's never been a problem. The one time it was real, I just
tried to log in to my eBay account and they let me know when I logged in
that it was real and made me change my password. Some day when I have a
second bank account, I might register one with paypal, but for now, my only
one will never be on there. way too much needless risk. I almost never use
paypal anyway and when I do I use a credit card which I don't keep on file.
I've been burned way too many times in my life with other things, I trust no
one now, especially people I don't know.
