    Dear PayPal customer, We recently noticed more attempts to log in to your PayPal account from a foreign IP address. If you accessed your account while traveling, the unusual log in attempts may have been initiated by you. However, if you are the rightfull holder of the account, please visit PayPal as soon as possible to verify your identity. https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run If you choose to ignore our request, you leave us no choice but to temporary suspend your account. We ask that you allow at least 24 hours for the case to be investigated and we strongly recommend to verify your account in that time. Thank You for using PayPal.

    Put the Scam Url in Quotas or Code and replace the Http:// with Hxxp:// for it doesn't get indexed by Google.

    PayPal never use " Dear PayPal customer"

    and if they need to send emails, they would do my writing their names, I think.. so it is easier to spot..
