    Just got an scam email which is having anchored text as http://www.paypal.com/us/ and original url was to http://www.snoophp.com/. On clicking on this site microsoft internet explorer 7 shown me that it is a phising site.

    Never give out your username password to this type of sites, you guys just beware of it.

    Mod. sorry if this is in wrong section, but it is important info and need to be shared.

    I received such mails every now and then, just ignore it nothing new here.

    And better start using gmail and those spoof mails will never hit your inbox again ;)

    I also receive such mails always in my SPAM BOX. Actually,i never read any mails related to paypal. I just delete it. Whatever i have to do with paypal,i just login and do it or check it. If major case,then i call them directly on phone.

    Those spoof links look quite similar to real one but taking a close took at the URL link will reveal the truth ;)

    Thankx matrix, I'm sure many of the veterans would know.
    There is only one secure way to access Paypal, thats by typing with your own hands. I would suggest NEVER FOLLOWING AN EMAIL LINK.
