[Dixielandjazz] PayPal

[Mike Durham]

This is an attempted scam - I checked with Paypal. Had a similar thing with 
some "company" claiming they had merged with Paypal and needed to verify my 
details. If in doubt, forward the e-mail (without opening any attachment) to 
spoof at ebay.com (eBay own Paypal) and they will tell you if it's legit - and 
try and track the perps down if it's not.

Mike.
