just got this email
Subj: James has sent you $172.56 through PayPal!
James Holland has just sent you $172.56 through PayPal! As per our new policy, you MUST log in to your account to claim it before this amount will be credited to your account.
If you don't have your own PayPal account, you can still claim your money by signing up for a PayPal account at our website. Once your account is verified, it will be credited with the amount above.
PayPal Payments Dept.
the links go to http://paypal.4t.com/
i put in a fake email and pw to see what it does and it resolves to the real paypal site after you enter your info to make it seem like u just made an error.

I never link from an email notification. I simply go to paypal and log in to verify payments. Too many times I've heard about fake "paypal" sites - all they need is to get your password, and they can really mess you up!
