Paypal Update Phish Mail

“Most of the Phismail goes into the bulk mail of my yahoo account, but a nasty paypal confirmation email came to my box. I didn't use the link in the email, it was clearly bad (the visible url in the link was different from the url that appeared in the bottom left hand corner of my my screen when I passed the cursor over it). I forwarded it to spoof@paypal.com.

Dear valued PayPal member:



It has come to our attention that due some internet frauds some accounts have been stolen. We now must take some actions and verify all PayPal users.





However, failure to update your records will result in account suspension.


















Please update your records. Once you have updated your account records, your PayPal session will not be
interrupted and will continue as normal.

To update your PayPal records click on the following link:

Thank You.

“I received am email this morning that said it was from the PayPal Security Center wanting me to update my account information.

I do not have, nor have I a ever had a PayPal account.”

“Yep! Be on the lookout.”

“conk...get the headers and forward the message and headers to Spoof@paypal.com..they claim they will investigate (probably find out its from outside the US)”

“i never click on the paypal emails, nor the ebay emails. If I am not sure if this is a valid email I go directly to my account and check.”
