I would CALL paypal if I were you...don't enter any information untill you talk to someone on the phone.

It's OK....It's not your fault !!!

NO! Do not enter your cc info! You have a virus that is redirecting your computer to a website that is not Paypal. CLean out your cookies and run virus/spyware/addware scans. You are being fished and spied on!

Never click on a link that looks as if its coming from Paypal. Enter the address manually in your browser and log in the usual way making certain of course that you have the "padlock" symbol.

If you need to do anything at all with your account, there will be a message waiting for you once you log in.

No, you are not safe. The thieves now have your Paypal log in information. They can log into your account, retrieve your bank account information and credit card numbers. They will clean you out.

You need to immediately get to another computer that is not infected and log into your account and change your log in information. Then contact Paypal and let them know what has happened.

Have you received an E-mail from Paypal about this? Did that E-mail contain your first and last name?

When you log in, is the site addressing you by your first and last name?

The virus may be redirecting your IP address.

Get the random number gadget from PayPal. It's a small key chain device that generates a 6 digit number that you have to use in addition to your password. Any one stealing your password on line, still cannot log into your account because each login requires a new 6 digit random number.

Support bacteria. They're the only culture some people have. !

Well ive talked with PP today. didnt really understand what that page was but i dont think its a Fraud. the guy at PP sent me a Email with link to password change and gave me 5 digit numberp that will allow me to change my pass.ive changed it but still getting the same page. the PP guy also told me my PP balance and no money has been taken. i wont be at home untill the weekend but the fact that no money has been taken pretty relaxed me...

check with your bank... if they have your bank account information, they don't necessarily need to go thru paypal to steal your money.
