Phishing warnings

Apparently, the evil people trying to get your information are getting smarter. Expect stuff to be addressed to you by name.

Basic rules?
1. Don't click links in e-mails.
2. If it's paypal, go to paypal.com in your browser, and check your account for suspicious activity. There'll usually be none. If it's eBay, go to ebay.com. Etc.
3. Forward the e-mail to security / support. Usually, they'll get back to you.
