    I just got an email from what was seemingly paypal, but it is early and I never really checked to make sure it was actually from paypal.

    The email said that there was an invalid login from France, and that I had to login to paypal to fix it. The URL was actually http://www.paypal.yugatd.com/. Now that right there should have told me it was a scam.

    But again, I just woke up and continued to login. Then I realized what it was, and quickly changed my account password on the real paypal. I'm reporting the URL to paypal :)

    (And after you login, they ask you for your credit card information and even your PIN number...wow..)

    Too many scam emails here and there :(. You should always check headers and other details for an email from paypal before clicking any links on it.
