If you receive an email that looks to be from Paypal or Ebay, one way to determine if the link within those emails are fake is to “mouseover” the link, and then in the lower left of your browser window you should see what the url says. And if you are really unsure, do not click on the link, but forward to the appropriate email address as shown below.

You can forward any suspicious Paypal emails to: spoof@paypal.com You can forward any suspicious Ebay emails to: spoof@ebay.com
