A resident of the 1600 block of Bennett Avenue reported receiving an email from the payment service PayPal, confirming a large payment to another individual.  The woman claims she had not made any purchases using PayPal and had clicked a link provided in the message to log in to her account to view her statement. After entering her PayPal username and password, her anti-virus software triggered and her computer later malfunctioned. Police believes this was a phishing e-mail designed to trick her into granting someone else access to her account.  Police were able to assist her in closing the PayPal account before any fraudulent charges were actually made.
