    Instead of clicking on the link, why don't use the address bar.

    It's a very good scam - looks almost authentic but for one thing - a genuine PayPal email will always begin with a greeting and then YOUR REAL NAME. No generic greetings like 'Hello'.

    I just drag my mouse of the link, and (the bottom right) look at the link in the status bar, if it says paypal.com it's legit... they never do though :)
