Has anyone ever gotten a page to apear when logging into there pay pal acount that says you have an outdated bookmark please log in again? I just got that after trying to log into my pay pal. I did NOT click on anything on that page nor did I log into anything from there, just closed the page and tried again and got on to pay pal with no problem. My hunch says this is a scam of some sorts trying to get your info, but I don't know for sure. Scary though the lengths some people will go to steal information..

Hi Gerda, I haven't seen this so I can't really help. You probably did the best thing though, you just never know.

This is worrying Gerda: How did you log in your paypal account in the first place? Did you follow a link or did you type in the address? If you typed in the URL then no worries. If you followed a link: Check, double check, triple check that link. In doubt, immediately change your password.

I did use my pay pal book mark to go to pay pal. then I logged in and once I did that it said I had an old book mark or url to log in again useing the page that just popped up. I closed it and tried again and had no problems.. I did change my password though just to be safe!!
