PayPal scam beware

I got scammed last night while I was tired and trying to get some work done. I got an email from paypal saying my account was compromised and they needed me to verify my credit card information. So I clicked on the link and opened a web page and entered by log in and password to sign in. I then proceeded to enter my credit card information and submitted it. This morning when I was working I started thinking about how weird it was that they asked me to provide credit card information. So I looked at the email again and realized it wasn't from paypal, but from some scammer. So I changed my paypal account password and canceled my credit card this morning. I don't think I lost any money, but what a hassle. Just thought I'd share my story to help anyone else from making the same stupid mis-stake I made.

What a bummer. Ive got to the point that I dont even look at my emails anymore. The only info I need will come to my ebay messages or my paypal accounts directly.

Berk LLC . u have to be very careful next time. do not click on the link on ur email. its very dangerous. at least u really know what exactly they are come from. :) so yeah.. its very good to heard that u didn't lost any money.. :)
so yeah take care.. and thx for the info.

Thats called phishing programs like Norton Internet Securtiy can block that stuff.

Very smart though in catching your error. If you entered personal info I would ask the credit co's to add a fraud alert to your name so if anyone tries to get credit under your name, you will be contacted before the credit is approved.
