    I have received 2 continuous mails recently which were phishing mails for paypal

    As i use a seperate addon email in paypal for DP members it wasnt hard to know that the phishing attempt is by some DP member itself

    I thought to share it with everyone here so noone have to loose their hard earned money

    Here is the source of the mail


    And i am attaching the phishing mail which i received as attachment

    The scammers have been on the incline in the last couple months to phish for passwords. If you get an email from Paypal make sure you never fallow any links from the emails. Go directly to www[dot]paypal[dot]com and do whatever they ask from there (if there is anything that needs to be done)
