I do not even a Pay Pal Account and I got an email saying someone charged some Lingerie on my Account The email showed up on Hotmail and it had a lot of addresses similar to my address. I think maybe they hit it by luck. I contacted Pay Pal and sent them the email and said they were working on this Scam. This has been going on for a while whoever is involved.

I've gotten a few of those also. They mass mail an alert to as many email addresses as possible. The email has a link to a bogus web site (for paypal, any bank, or credit company, etc.) If you follow their link, it routes you to a fake site and when you "login", they have your password.

Short story ... don't click their link, use your own path to the real address.
