    I know that the majority of DP users make use of Paypal.

    Here is a new Phishing scam doing the rounds. You will receive an e-mail claiming to be from Paypal informing you that payment was made to an unknown company or person.

    You can click on a Cancel Payment button in order to cancel the payment. The victim will then be taken to a fraudulent Paypal website where they must log into their 'accounts'. The moment you log in, fraudsters will have your access information.

    Here are a sample mail and a short write-up of the scam.
