*WARNING* very very good PayPal phishing scam.
 
This is not from PayPal they would never ask you to click a link they will tell you to login. Accidently gave them my password and had to change it real quick. You can enter any username and password in the link and they mess with the address bar cause it will still say paypal.com with no subdomain like normal phishing scams.

They are very good notice the link name and notice the distorted address bar far right.

If you notice the address is to high like there is more ---- under it and the right side has changed colors. I fell for it since Ive been doing alot of paypaling lately, the email seemed appropriate. Then it asked for detailed credit card info I ------- flipped I hurried up and logged in to paypal and changed my password. Then checked that linked page and you can input any username and password and it takes it and tells u to input credit card info. Iam a computer guy being a network admin and this one almost got me. If it wasnt for my recent paypal escapade I would have just deleted it.
