I received this email today from what looked like PayPal.

I noticed a few spelling mistakes and that fraud WAS monitored in 2008. I thought this is only the beginning of 2008 so how could it be monitored.

Sent the email to Paypal and have had a reply saying it was a Phishing Scam.

Dear custmer , Due to the large fraud activity monitored in 2008 and many custmers registerd screen names with fake information and so fraud billing information,Paypal is taking an action against those activity through new billing system co-operating with members bank issuers. this message has been sent to all Paypal members to go through this checking if you still want your screen name

Yes, I still need my screen name please keep me registerd

No, iam not pleased with Paypal service and i am not in need for my screen name any more .

Once the process is complete, you will then be able to keep your current Paypal Network Screen Name to access Paypal Web products, including Ebay and the new Ebay Products.

Thanks for the heads up. I just registered not long ago, so I remember their warning about not requesting information.

Sneaky little buggers them phishing phiends (pun intended)




SHAZAM!!!

I get about 30 of those emails a day

its always worth seeing who else the e-mail was sent to, if you can see that your address is one of thousands with a letter or number change either side of your own, its pretty much a phishing scam. You can see who else its sent to without opening it, MSN should have a reserve on it asking you to mark it safe or unsafe, at that point you can see who else its been sent to.
