[TheForge] scam?

I got two from PayPal last week that truly were from PayPal letting me know 
the CC I had on file had expired.

It addressed me by name and referenced the last 4 # of the CC.

To make sure I knew where I was going I opened Firefox and typed the proper 
address manually

Lesson...Not all emails from PayPal are bogus...  but with a little 
precaution you can ensure your going where you think you are.
