Example Spoof Email

Note how legitimate this email looks!   Had we filled it out - this person would have had more than enough information to open credit card accounts, draft our checking account, email money to him or herself from our Paypal account, etc....!   

Never provide personal information based on an email - always go directly to the requesting companies website.
