Be very careful with another scam that is around right now - they start by asking you if you can hear them.  
 
When you answer "yes" they record your voice and somehow use it to falsify documents with your authorization.  
 
Worst part is, sometimes that call comes from a spoofed local number - so you never can be sure.

Speaking of scams, I just got an e-mail confirmation of an order from "my paypal Account". I don't have and never have had a Paypal account.  
Do I reply to the e-mail or just ignore it?  
Thanks for any advice. Sorry Rue, not trying to hijack your discussion, just didn't want to start another one.

Ignore anything that comes via email is my policy, it's all scams.

There probably should be an entire heading for current and on going scams to be aware of, it is sick.  
 
Never respond, it just multiplies your chances of getting more scam mails from different emails.  
 
And it does not matter if you have ever had an account with a company listed in a scam email or not - we are getting ones from our bank lately that are freakishly "real" looking, but tell tale signs of phishing are there - you have to really scrutinize each one and delete if it is a fake.  
 
And of course NEVER EVER open an email with a zip file attached (unless you know the person and are expecting one)

This one looked real too.  
Makes you wonder why some people just don't get a job.
