If anyone falls for this paypal scam they almost deserve to be robbed. I got this email today from "service@paypal.com"

Please verify your information today!

Dear Paypal Member.

Your account has been randomly flagged in our system as a part of our routine security measures. This is a must to ensure that only you have access and use of your paypal account and to ensure a safe Paypal experience.

We require all flagged accounts to verify their information on file with us.

To verify your information, click here and enter the details requested.

After you verify your information, your account shall be returned to good standing and you will continue to have full use of your account.

Thank you for using PayPal!


The link at click here is to paypal.com%2f@%32%31%31%2e%31%31%33%2e%31%38%36%2e%34%32/%70%70/%75%70%64%61%74%65%2E%68%74%6D, which is an html-escaped form of paypal.com@211.113.186.42/pp/update.htm. That's not the paypal site even though "paypal.com" is part of the url. The web page looks exactly like the paypal site and contains a form to enter information that would enable someone to access your account.
