PayPal Scam, watch out

[Geek]

Today I received another PayPal Scam, watch for this email and do NOT respond to it:

We recently have determined that different computers have logged into your PayPal account, and multiple password failures were present before the login. One of our Customer Service employees has already tryed to telephonically reach you. As our employee did not manage to reach you, this email has been sent to your notice.

Therefore your account has been temporary suspended. We need you to confirm your identity in order to regain full privileges of your account.

If this is not completed by July 27, 2005, we reserve the right to terminate all privileges of your account indefinitly, as it may have been used for fraudulent purposes. We thank you for your cooperation in this manner.

I have gotten e-mails like that before and when I do, I forward the e-mail to [email protected]

I just got one that said there was unauthorized activity on my account...I contacted Paypal uz I knew it looked weird...the way you can tell if it's real or not-Paypal will always use your name when addressing you in an authentic email and they will never have a link that sends you someplace where you need to put in personal info...always go directly to Paypal.com in another browser if something looks suspicious. Even on their site, they never ask for personal info like pin numbers or passcodes or anything. So beware, and if you ever got an email and unknowingly put in your account info like your Paypal password or something, just got to Paypal.com and immediately change your password and any info you may have entered in the fake link.
