1|1|Didn't get that BUT I got one from facebook....wondering if it is legitimate....|ptmama525|ptmama525@aol.com|19:47:32|09/13/2011|<center><font size="1" color="#000099" class="f_postedon">Posted on Sep-13-11 at 07:47 PM (Eastern) by 98.19.254.100</font></center><p>Hi Deedra, <BR>We're trying out a new feature to reduce the amount of email you receive from Facebook. Starting today, we are turning off most individual email notifications and instead, we'll send you a summary only if there are popular stories you may have missed. <BR>You can turn individual emails back on and restore all your original settings at any time. <BR>Thanks, <BR>The Facebook Team <P>turn individual emails back on is a clickable link....<P><BR>"Do unto others as you would have others do unto you."
2|1|Just contact Pay Pal to make sure they did send that email to you.

3|1|I would think if paypal wanted the information from you....|jdlaurie|savethosepennies@aol.com|20:39:53|09/13/2011|<center><font size="1" color="#000099" class="f_postedon">Posted on Sep-13-11 at 08:39 PM (Eastern) by 76.101.225.143</font></center><p>you could log into paypal and there would be a important notice for you to click on like they usually do.  I would never click on a paypal link in a email to do anything!  Always go directly to the site through your top bar and get in that way.<P>Laurie<img src="/dcforum/Images/happy.gif">
4|2|Well, I just logged in to Paypal and the message was there!|Gammiesue|snschapin@yahoo.com|21:00:00|09/13/2011|<center><font size="1" color="#000099" class="f_postedon">Posted on Sep-13-11 at 09:00 PM (Eastern) by 71.101.115.19</font></center><p>So I guess it's legit.  The message was in a small yellow text box at the top of the My Account Overview page.<BR>Just curious if everyone is getting this message now?  Is it a new?<P>I love my computer because my friends live in it.
5|1|I did not BUT........please read|kdrink|kdrink34@yahoo.com|23:28:36|09/15/2011|<center><font size="1" color="#000099" class="f_postedon">Posted on Sep-15-11 at 11:28 PM (Eastern) by 24.72.197.2</font></center><p>I know that paypal does have a rule that when you receive 200 or more payments to pp, they are required to report it to the IRS. Check your recored, it is per calendar year, and if it totals 200+ then it is probably legit.
6|2|I thought this was 200 payments AND over $20,000 earned|jdlaurie|savethosepennies@aol.com|18:35:52|09/16/2011|<center><font size="1" color="#000099" class="f_postedon">Posted on Sep-16-11 at 06:35 PM (Eastern) by 76.101.225.143</font></center><p>not just 200 payments. I thought you had to meet both requirements. <P>Would love to know for sure.<P>Laurie<img src="/dcforum/Images/happy.gif">
