Spoof Paypal Emails

[jahlad]

ive had a couple of emails that look like they come from paypal but obviously dont, they say that your account will be terminated in 5 days if you dont reconfirm your credit card details

ive phoned paypal and they say its a complete spoof

dont open the file attached and certainly dont fill in the for giving any details
also they suspect there is a virus attached.....like a twat id already opened the file so im running a full scan in a mo

keep an eye out for it as it may have mailed itself to other people in my email address books......sorry

i got this email from 'ebay' the other day, the reason i though it was wired was because of the wierd spelling and link to google or summet when i clicked it? i got it like 4 times?
