    Angry PayPal SCAM mail again, watch out for this e-mail, you PayPal account will be fraudet

    Warning PayPal Scam e-mail! - I just received this e-mail from "PayPal"

    Dear PayPal Customer,
    During our regularly scheduled account maintenance and verification procedure we have detected a slight error in your PayPal online account.

    This might be due to the following reasons:
    1. A recent change in your personal information (ie. change of address, email address)

    2. An inability to accurately verify your selected option of payment due to an internal error within our systems.

    Please fill in all the details that are required to complete this verification process.
    To do this we have attached a form to this email. Please download the form and follow the instructions on your screen. NOTE: The form needs to be opened in a modern browser which has javascript enabled (ex: Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 3, Safari 3, Opera 9)

    Please understand that this is a security measure intended to
    help protect you and your account. We apologize for any inconvenience.
    If you choose to ignore our request, you leave us no choice but
    to temporary suspend your account.

    Sincerely,
    PayPal Account Review Department.

    Please do not reply to this e-mail. Mail sent to this address cannot be answered.
    For assistance, log in to your PayPal account and choose the "Help" link in the footer of any page.
    The sender address is: [replacer_a] This is obviously not from PayPal, they will try to get access to your PayPal account this way!!!

    Attached to the e-mail is a website, Verify_Form.html – DO NOT OPEN IT and DO NOT ENTER YOUR INFORMATION! This is a phishing site, they will take all your PayPal money if you do so.

    DELETE THE E-MAIL IF YOU RECEIVE IT!

    Yeah I know, but if no one will warn people, many will open the file attached, complete it and send it to the fake e-mail address, not all are as clever as you are!
