I've got an email telling me my account at PayPal is about to expire. To prevent this I have to run attached application. Nice try! I lookup headers - the headers were fine, except it was sent from Colombia.
So, I forwarded it to support@paypal.com and got autoreplay to go through the web. I logged in and could not found no support, no email. Nothing where to reach somebody.
So, I had an idea to add paypal to my ecommerce producer. Now I see this is not a good idea.
Please, be aware of the scam!

I received a similar email which forwarded me to a site which looks like the Paypal site, and then asks me to verify my account details by filling in the form.

Forward your fake email to: spoof@paypal.com

More info here:
[paypal.com...]
