    As many of indian paypal users have noticed, there is something fishy going on..
    many users got mails regarding new scary regulations and many did not, which as of now looks like a spoof mail.

    I just received a mail too.. but it was just giving some tips, no links to click or nothing, looks just like standard paypal tips mail. only that it was not sent by paypal, i never remember using the paypal email id anywhere else. so i wonder how these guys are getting it. and seems like may be these phishers are trying to test their techniques and may be eventually trying to get some data from us.

    subject paypal case resolution
    mailed-by gmail.com
    signed-by gmail.com


    looks pretty simple.. doesnt have anything attached, even bares paypal logo from paypal server.

    so people, be careful while you click on any links which you see from what looks like paypal email directly. open a new browser window and go to paypal.com directly to check the information in the
    mail and forward a copy to immediately if you doubt its authenticity
