Dennis you may want to pull that link out of your post. When you click on the link you get a virus from visiting the url.

I put the link in for reference. (I didn't click it myself; I never do.) Warning added. Thanks!!!

I get lots of these. I just filter anything from "exchange-robot@paypal.com".

Always check the URL carefully, not just what it says in the email...
