    Did you click through their email to get to their 'paypal' and if so, did it ask you for any personal details - password, bank details etc. when you say it is not showing any balance in my paypal account = did you get to your paypal account through paypal.com or through the email

    If you entered any details through the email, change your password at the very least. I would also suggest that you run a virus scan and preferably adaware or some other anti-spyware program.
    I always use new browser window to open my online bank,paypal & ebay. Anyway thanks for your reminder.

    Even so, if you copy and pasted thier link, it could be to a different place, like https://www.paypal.scam.com (only it would be harder to spot!)

    If you open your own browser page there is never any need to use a link from a potnetially dodgy email.
