convincing paypal email

[woofgang]

I have just had a very convincing phishing email purporting to come from Paypal. Only my surname was missing. I logged into my account NOT through the email and found that my account had not been limited. Thought it would be good to warn others, I get loads of phishing emails, this was by far the most convincing.

I've had that one, woofgang - I don't open any links these days. You can report it to [email protected] - they do come back to you.

Yes, I had similar and found Paypal to be more than helpful

They are fairly convincing- but a genuine paypal email would mention your name

Well sibton has dispensed with the avatar and I liked it...

Please factor I'll do whatever you want, just change, it'll upset desktop and really confuse tony. Now you don't want to be stalked by tony, do you?

[Psybbo]

Apologies woofgang, it was just such a shock

[Psybbo]

WOW XXX

How come factor30 that your Avatar in the column of this thread is different to that on your Public Profile.?

I got this email but some grammatical errors made me guess it was a scam.
