[Milsurplus] BEWARE, another Paypal scam

[gil Kellersman Jr]

This is not a new scam, it's been around for several years. Paypal will NEVER send you an email about your account. If you respond or give ANY info then you have just been scammed! You have to log in to see the status of your account.....BUYER BEWARE! Gil
