*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.

I have been getting them for a few months now. It is way shitty. If Paypal needs something it will be shown to you when you log into your account.

i'm not gonna read this all, but I just wanted to say that's an old scam and it's soooo stupid. You're a dumbass if you fall for it. When you click the link and they ask you to input your information, you can type practically anything and it will go through like it's right. I wonder how many fuckers a day fall for that. I should do it.

i know it's easy to fall for, regular people don't look at the little details, i think the address is different and some of the people have it hosted on geocities 'n ----. Easy to fall for, yes, no doubt I agree with you there. But I still ain't reading it :-*

Re:*WARNING* very very good PayPal phishing scam.
 
Mrs Spoon Fed, if you had any contact with Paypal customer service recently before getting that email, I think that email was legit. I recently had to call them about something, and right after got a very similar email. However, if you had to give any sensitive data (password, cards #, PINs) it's probably a scam.
