PAYPAL SCAM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey ya'll.  Got a new one today.  I'm not selling anything or expect money for any reason.  Got this today - looks official and includes Paypal in the link.   If you get this and feel it's a scam, GO TO THE SITE DIRECTLY.  DO NOT CLICK ON ANYTHING.

Definitely a scam, I get them all the time.   :!  The scam is listed in the scam section on the forum. 
Aut viam inveniam aut faciam - I will either find a way or make one.  "Can't lives on Won't street."

Let us be reminded of what Captain John Parker told his army at Lexington Green, the place where the War for Independence began in 1775. He said, “Stand your ground. Don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.

Settle down now, take those reins up and relax you are doing better than most.  They would have followed the links   <..>
