I have a paypal account with 4 different e-mail addys attached, and I get 1 to 2 phishing e-mails a month on one address or the other. They are fairly easy to recognize, some even have misspelled words or bad grammar. But they are getting more sophisticated. I report all my suspicious e-mails to paypal and they work to shut them down. I have had paypal 5 years and my actual account has never been compromised. Just be careful of those e-mail wanting info!
