Wanted to let you know there is a scam going around . You get an e-mail from Pay Pal saying you spent $199.00. It gives you a link to click to see what you spent $199.00 on. DO NOT click the link. It will charge your account. I called Pay pal and 6 people called about the scam in an hour. They are trying to shut the site down. Suzanne

Thank you for the warning. This would be one I could fall for thinking that someone hacked the account.
