PayPal Impersonation Fraud

[surfer67]

Has anyone else received e-mails from some scam that's impersonating PayPal? I received a number of e-mails that at first glance appear to be from PayPal asking to follow a URL to a login page in order to update my account info e-mail and password.

However, when I dragged my mouse over the URL I noticed that it didn't point to the paypal.com but to payppal.us. It appears that they are trying to retrieve members passwords in order to login and get access to credit card info.

Nothing new here, Ebay and PP scams are ongoing and have been for a long time.

I know that PayPal was very appreciative when I tried to report a scam using their name. They gave me a special email account to send the clues to and they responded well. I forgot the account but their toll free will get it for you.
