Paypal scam
I just received an email that looks like it came from Paypal. Supposedly I have ordered an expensive suit and am getting it shipped to Brazil.
I did a double take, then I started up firefox and logged in to my paypal account, and no such transaction has taken place (thank heavens).
But the email looked very convincing. It had a link to dispute the transation, a link to help, a link to the supposed vendor --- except all those links lead to the same address when put under the microscope.
Which I am not going to visit, naturally: I expect it's full of malware.
Just, be aware - if a fishy paypal email arrives, it's probably phishy.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
