Please don't reply to this email. It'll just confuse the computer that sent it and you won't get a response.

This is a new one, that looks very convincing...and it's NOT from PayPal!  PayPal will NOT send you a link to cancel a payment, or a request to confirm a payment.  If you get one of these, DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK.  Go directly to PayPal in your browser, and check what's going on.  Never, ever trust random links like this, or emails that appear to be from one sender but are from a fishy email address.  It's a phishing scam to try to get your PayPal info so they can hack your PayPal account.  ~BlueDragonfly
