URGENT: PayPal System Problems

Dear PayPal User,

Last night we had some trouble with one of our computer systems. While the trouble appears to be minor, we are not taking any
chances. We decided to take the troubled system offline and replace it with a new system. Unfortunately this caused us to lose
some member data. Please follow the link below and log into your account to make sure your information is not affected. Account
balances have not been affected

Question: Since this email address of mine was NEVER EVER connected
to paypal, this looks like a big scam, but I've included the URL for
our Interchange experts to view:

http://www.paypalupdate.com/cgibin/webscr/?cmd=_login-run

The reason I posted this to the list was, I don't want anyone scammed if
it is a scam. If its valid, then those of you using paypal may want to
contact Paypal to see if any of your data was lost. Since I got this on
my email address that was never connected to paypal, I wanted to give
everyone a heads up.

If anyone wants a copy of the original message, I can either put it up as
a webpage or send a copy to you. Just ask....

Carl

p.s. Interchange 4.8.5 kicks butt! Nice job guys! Works great on Dec ALPHA
systems with Linux.
